Yeah, I saw that. But I guess I'm taking the position that maybe her stories might be based on something she heard before, which may have been based on fact. Pure conjecture, I know, but it's a theory. Even if you take that point out though, I still think it's a somewhat decent argument. But if I get enough evidence to the contrary, I'll just have to get a new theory. I still think it's the Ermine, but I HAVE been thinking about Forest Heart lately......
