This thread is not about Mr. Y, so kindly stop trying to change the subject.
For a poi to be viable he must be shown to have been in or near the towns wherein EAR and ONS attacks occurred.
Perhaps I have missed something, but my impression is that Quester has not shown any of his poi's to be in or near Goleta, Ventura, or Irvine. Please correct me if I am wrong on this.

In the future please tell me what examples I can and cannot use and when it is ok for me to use them. I wouldn't want to be censored or banned.
It's very common to respond to a message by making reference to someone or something unconnected with a given thread. To do so is not bad per se, but it does kinda convey the impression that one is trying to get the reader to veer down the unconnected path. You see that all the time on the boob tube in political discussions. Politicians are adept at changing the subject, when they think they have a weak argument about the topic they're supposed to respond to.
I point that out merely to say that I am aware of that little trick even though I know that for most posters here their intention is not to be sneaky, as politicians can be.
If a poster says or infers something inappropriate, the poster will get a warning from me, sometimes publicly, sometimes via PM. Posters are entitled to multiple warnings before any adverse action is taken.
I have not issued any warning to you. And you would have to say something quite inappropriate for me to give you a warning. Thus, feel free to express yourself however you wish. Just be aware that to reference some presumably parallel situation not mentioned in the thread as a way to bolster one's argument is weak and noticeable, at least to me.
