Matthew Bell Yes, I noticed you covered yourself by mentioning 'admittedly Mormons'. Did you notice I said that you should be *more* skeptical? I don't recall making any posts with regard to your former position, nor that such would make you an untrustworthy source? You may also note that that the comments re: the manner of Joseph Smith's death are independant of the Tanners, as they are citations from the churches own history. Thanks M.Bell
