[nagdu] another what would you do question

I have read through most of the responses from today, , and it appears that
everything that is being discussed is speculation.  I would highly suggest
that until solid facts are obtained, which is most likely going to come
through a direct conversation with the individual, this conversation will be
nothing more than that as this speculation is causing everyone to jump to
conclusions that are simply not founded at this point except through 2nd and
3rd hand knowledge.
