Jenkins -- I was half kidding with that statement. At the same time, why do I need to explain that Ben Franklyne isn't Mason?
You have been following this case from the beginning, that's great. Did you save any of those earlier sites?
I believe that misinformation is a distraction. That's why I wanted to clear up the Suzanne thing. But I appreciate your point. At some point, it's better to try to cover new ground.
Bottom line is this: there are a lot of senseless posts here (see some of the ones above). Why do you take issue with mine? I really struggle to understand that.

Maruchan,
I will address your concerns. But between my explanation of this as well as my explanation of your last theory regarding me (that I was intentionally registering new accounts for some gain which now slips my mind)-- perhaps you will come to see that I have better judgement than given credit for.
I did not want to nor planned on addressing the "Billy" controversy. And I will only do so briefly. "Billy Vanderbilt" contacted me several weeks ago. He claimed he was an IT student at Carnegie Mellon, a local university here in Pittsburgh. He said he had been lurking around Topix since seeing the Maura episode of Disappeared. He thought, given his skill set, that he may be able to help us identify the individual who has been sending death threats to posters around this community. After I verified he was who he claimed to be, I sent him the email headers from two emails which I had received from the individual who threatened Sam. That was the only information I sent him and that was basically the end of our correspondence. What actions he took from that point forward, I can't speak to.
Someone threatened Sam in a very serious manner. I consider Sam a friend and intend to help him by any means possible. Vanderbilt seemed like a good option. I acted alone in providing Billy with the headers and do not regret my decision. Both headers came directly from the individual who is making death threats.
I, genuinely, have no interest in identifying any other Topix poster ("Suzanne" as an exception). More than a handful of names have fallen into my lap over the course of the last several months throughout general conversations I have had with longtime followers of this thread and this case. Want to know what I have done with them each time? Nothing. Why would I care who posters to a message board are? It's just not important. It has nothing to do with the means of Maura's disappearance therefore I am not interested.
I hope this relieves your concern. It's the truth.

Try and do it Yourself. Yeah sure that's the way to go about it.

we agree. a credible "death threat" would be brought to the attention of authorities, and would reference the source by which it was communicated / received.

Det Columbo: "And that is WHY I believe that these threats are FALSE."
I went to authorities. I have stated that at least twice here.
