You know what I'm tired of is others speaking for the family, and claiming they know how the family is feelings, or going though, and then they used it as a club to hit other Nomad's members that they feel get out of line.

Yeah, a few members have posted a few insensitive remarks, and some of the theories of what happened to Gary, and how to search should be conducted are down right comical. I especially love how some site members, seem to think, if they could get the most posts in the Gary's missing thread, that they are the de facto leader of the of the cyber Gary search party.

The problem here as I see it, is this thread has gone on too long. Somebody should have called out the search party months ago, and I think Dennis even tried to do that, with some phony heart felt plea, it's time to let go. ( I said the same thing about Dennis, but he still comes back)

At this point is there anybody here that thinks Gary is sill alive, maybe holed up behind some rocks injured or something? Oh wait, lets not say that.....lets think of the family.

Well if the family actually thought Gary was still alive, would they wait this long to go looking for him, once the 4-Runner was found?

At this point this is a recovery operation, and the family should spend as little money as possible here in their attempt to locate Gary's body, because their are many people that would attempt to take advantage of the family's grief for their own gain, and I'm not just talking about Mexicans.

Thousands of people go missing every day, and that's a real tragedy for the family, but do the rest of you really care, or could perhaps a few people could be using Gary's missing thread to pat themselves on their backs, or use it in a way to promote their own businesses in Baja, by showing what a good person they are, because they really care about Gary, and are praying for Gary.

Well, personally I hope the family finds Gary, but the whole thread borders on the ridiculous now, and it's no surprise that a few people would want to add some morbid humor, it happens all the time, in high profile cases, for example, in the OJ and Nicole murder trial, Natalee Holloway, where white teen goes missing, and the media goes nuts, but later comes the morbid jokes. Back then if I recall, some people got upset about the jokes over Nicole and Natalee, and said things like,'think of the family,' but the morbid humor went on anyway.

Mood: Move on. It is just a chapter in the past, but don't close the book- just turn the page

well then Joe why not tell the Chinese that lost their family in the Malaysian Jet mystery to forget it as well. Recovery of a loved one is just as important to closure as finding the person alive. I don't know that personally but many people who have lost loved ones feel that way. The family has requested to not discuss the gruesome details. You can't assume people are in this for money and that is not a very nice thing to say. I happen to have always had an interest in missing persons casex and forensics, many people wondered why I chimed in on the McStay case but I find the situation to be very interesting and compelling. Lizard Lips is in this area of expertise, so it would seem logical he would get involved, as well as any other law enforcement people that are living in Baja. You are the master champion poster on OT, and it might seem that you are trying to get the most posts but you are interested in what you are saying, so who am I to criticize your hundreds of posts on OT? I respect where you are coming from even though I might not approach the situation the same with the people you are discussinb.

When ya crosses that border southbound there is always a chance you ain't gonna go back. It doesn't take much - a heart attack, a stumble and fall fracturing a leg, snapping a neck, whatever. This ain't Disneyland. And 300 peso a day transitos and preventivas ain't gonna go looking.

Smear all the chocolate and saccharin you want on the subject. The end result is Zopilotes, coyotes, and various carnivorous insects. There is no easy way for a family to deal with death. I'm an expert at enduring it. Yeah, five freakin' stars. Sue me. After several months of being "misplaced" the family has to come to grips with it (or not).

Thanks for accolade Janene about area of expertise however I don't know about the Baja desert or what happened to Gary. I want to think he is alive but after discussing this in person with the family last Saturday in Orange County I believe what they want now is closure. I would for sure….

I know the Doc and Dennis personally. I must say Janene is a rare breed. You don't meet many people like her and from her posts you can see what I mean. I know she is very intelligent and wants people not to disrespect her thoughts or feelings. Who does? Her posts are welcome as far as Im concerned as is everyone else's. Now we come to Dennis---- I have been to his home a few times and even went to see him after his stoke a few years ago in the hospital. Dennis is from Newport Beach not very far from where I grew up. So many of us look at him as posting nasty little things about every subject that is posted but if you really knew this guy he has a heart of gold but when he sees someone making no sense at all be ready to take it. Of course he has posted on the Patton site that made me swallow hard and shake my head but he keeps things interesting.

We all have the right to post our thoughts on this board and Lori, I know what you are talking about, I do, and respect that as well.

The Pattons have told me that they were shocked when they saw some disrespectful statements made that they read and it did make them feel bad. I told them just to relax and consider the fact that so many people writing posts don't have a clue of what they are saying and certainly would never say it to your face. They just want to be cute.

If this board was to censure every post made I would not want to be part of it. Everyone has a voice-Good or bad…Lets just remember that the family is viewing this so please just keep it right.
