Jack, your posting attempts to stop other peoples "good guesses" by replacing
them with your "good guesses". If you are truly stating facts, how about
citing where your facts are from, (and merely saying that you read it
*somewhere* doesn't cut it).

Why do you make a question out of *when* the ship broke up? Are you hinting
at another "good guess" that possibly the Titanic was torpedoed?

Also, it isn't necessary to post articles that are double spaced. It doesn't
add any more credibility to what you've posted.  It just
adds more empty lines that the mailer has to contend with, and hence slow
up everyone elses mail on the net.
