I only want to point out one more thing.
There are currently 8,392 topics and 253,417 posts about these topics on the AP Discussion Board.
I think that we all try to read and to find the answers before we ask questions, but that is one heck of a lot of ground to cover and while we are doing all that reading the numbers just keep growing.
I understand the frustration but I also understand the desire to just jump in and start a new thread and to just ask.
However, since this forum is used by educational groups (and I think that sometimes we forget that in our desire to prove ourselves right) we have to be careful what we post and how stubborn we get about our point of view.
That is why I and everyone else gets pounded about sources. There are threads for "what if" speculation and also an "Alien Abduction" thread (which has now gone down and I miss it because it was so much fun

). So when someone can't post a reliable source for what they have posed, then the whole world gets to take a look at the subject and may get the wrong idea.
Still, I know that as the years go by and more information is released from GARF that older books have become obsolete and stories like the "rape of the nursery maid" and the "prophecy of the collapse of the Russian aristocracy" which were believed in the past have now been proven to be false.
Sometimes it is hard to keep up with the new information and the changes that have taken place. Heck, when I first read Guy Richards
The Hunt for the Czar back in the1970s, I
wanted it to be true. But, of course, it isn't.
So we just have to keep on "keepin' on".
FaithWhiteRose - I tend to agree with you. I have never read anything anywhere that points to Nicholas being in any way involved in the death of Rasputin. The only thing I said before is that he might have said something in an off hand way that someone like Dimitri or Felix or Zenaide misunderstood. They may have
thought they knew the intention behind his words, but just interpreted them incorrectly. And that is just MHO!
