Without getting into the source vs. repository argument, I think it is entirely proper to use these facts (actually assertions) if one chooses to. You can give them the lowest surety if you want. You can explain in a comment why they are not to be believed. And you can choose not to publish them. It all depends on one's approach. If you are lazy (like me) you might not wish to spend time documenting most low surety assertions. If I were not so lazy I would document all assertions, no matter how dubious, and explain why some were better than others. Belief that an assertion is true is not necessarily a prerequisite to documenting the assertion. For example, my wife is a LEE. Like nearly everyone in the U.S. whose last name is LEE, there are stories passed down saying that they were related to Robert E. LEE. Not really believing this, I documented it anyway. Later I refuted it with DNA evidence to the contrary. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools/Custom Programming) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools NOTE TO LUG USERS: Use plain text if you want me to read your post.
