Harris seems to bounce from one discussion group to another, wearing out 
his welcome at each stop. I figured he might have assumed room temperature 
a while back but then he made a couple posts and then moved on again. 
Another one I wonder about is Ralph Cinque. Can't remember the last time 
he posted. His Oswald Innocence Campaign website is still up although that 
doesn't tell us anything. Rossley's website is still active too.
