4th RE: DO WS's Bringing "Value" =
Honestly, I had to laugh when I read some recent posts (I'll refrain from pointing out which & by whom), because Websleuths Members consist of many, many individuals from a wide variety of locations and backgrounds...YES!, I'm sure there are absolutely Soccer Mom's (U-Go-Gurl-Friends!), and there are: current Law Enforcement, Ex/Retired Law Enforcement, Search & Rescue Team Members, Detectives, Impacted Families, Media Reps (Film/News), Podcasters, etc., etc., so, for someone to go and out right Bash the make up of WS Members, honestly kind of TICKS ME OFF!, because, well, doing so just shows that: 1) You haven't been around very long; and 2) You obviously do NOT know what you're talking about or you would "know" enough about WS's Membership to know that there is a wide variety of individual expertise specialties and backgrounds involved on this website..so, try taking the time to learn a bit more before speaking about a topic.. I know what I do about WS Membership, because I've interacted with them for YEARS, read the articles written by them (or inspired) by them, HEARD their Podcasts & their giving a Shout-out to WS!, LISTENED, to them post their opinions, theories, comments, efforts, contacts, research, mention their backgrounds, etc..so, I have to refute the whole, WS posters are of little value, comments & attitude in recent posts...PLUS, just fyi, as I mentioned previously the Up & Vanished podcast regarding Tara G.,; however, that is not the only Podcaster WS Member who has highlighted & therefore brought attention to a current or cold case (VALUE!!), and WS's have actually helped SOLVE cases (Multiple Missing & Unidentified Persons Cases == Any WS Regular of some time, tends to be aware of this), Have inspired/submitted/been the KEY reason a particular case has been Highlighted by the Media/Film Industry (Several TV Shows)...Value!, Value!, Value..BUT, ya know what?, if you don't think/believe WS or its Membership add "VALUE" or have anything "Worthy" to say..My Personal Recommendation to You?...Feel Free to go to another website & Not Return, because I'd MUCH rather have active, interested, knowledgeable other Members of WS, than People who don't know JACK about what they are saying, come on WS to either WS or MEMBER BASH!..Neither of which is remotely productive, nor does it offer one iota of "VALUE", I might add..
To Everyone Else, my apologies, I had to comment, as I didn't feel I could let some of these issues go unanswered, and in particular, I would hate to have someone newer to WS get the wrong impression, due to a few ignorant (as in uneducated and/or uninformed) comments by a few posters here and there, without anyone taking the time to point out how far in error their various presumptions tend to be...
The above is IMHO, unless stated otherwise..EXCEPT the portions where I detail the expertise of WS Membership, as ALL of that is true, fact, and easily verifiable! If that is, you put a little effort into researching and verifying it! & No, I'm not doing your work for you, I know they are all true & on here for the reasons I listed above, put some effort forth yourself if you have an issue with anything I say.

The TRUTH WILL OUT!, and There will be a Reckoning, in this Life or the Next!
