Thanks for the link! Amazing, isn't it? That someone could be so manipulative? One of the things that struck me was the hints every now and again that people got that they dismissed.

That is the story of my life. I'm *very* aware of the little voice in my head that says, "Watch out. She's lying," or "There's something more than what we're seeing here," only because of past experience.

I've had my little voice suggest something, and think, "Naaaaaah," too many times only to feel like a fool afterward. ;-)
