   You missed the point once again completely. The story in The Daily Mail is   
   an example of hear say. If the alleged source of the information came   
   forward and backed up his claim that he saw Sir Fellows in Paris, one could   
   look into the matter. Now we have just a rumour, a fact not missed by the   
   Daily Mail. You of course believe this rumour because it fits nicely in your   
   conspiracy theory. (A conspiracy theory that changes often, BTW.)

   Okay, I'll give I true bananist answer. How often have you been in an   
   English court?

   Lord Stevens is looking into all the conspiracy theories around, which   
   explains why the investigation is taking so long. When the Daily Mail story   
   turns out to be a hoax, you will go into silent mode once again. In   
   alt.conspiracy.princess-diana (also known as Al's loony bin) you relied on   
   "de auditu" evidence before. G. Stone called the Coroner's Office, asked   
   when the Inquests into the deaths of D + D had been opened, but didn't   
   understand the answer she was given. You believed her misinformation and   
   started ranting. Instead of relying on "de auditu" information, you could   
   have called yourself and saved yourself from embarrassment.
