Slop: Thank you for replying. I did get a chuckle out of your post ( in a purely good way too ). I agree completely that what DNAPrint confides ought to stay that way. No two ways about it. I smiled at the thought because you're dead on the money about your point too. If you "give up the ghost" then it won't be long before you're looking for another source.
I was thinking that perhap's it ( any leak or source of the NE case ) may be by someone who is not connected, as was the case with the N.Y. Times and the LA Murder Case, who could be cross-referenced and is not bound by any promise to say nothing.
I appreciated the comment..and have a great evening.
