Pixie--part of the benefit from these speculations is to get the newbies thinking again.  We all went through this process over the last year or so. Many of these speculations are obviously by newbies. We were taught by Q to question everything and develop better critical thinking skills. You are probably a veteran Q follower (and have heard all the speculations already) and that is why you find it painful to hear again. This is not the first time the Haley question has been discussed.
