Hi Chris & All,
An interesting article on some of the secure military installations in a 
particular area of the Florida Keys with a liberal sprinkling of mystery.
Interesting that he uses, as any writer making a supposition but short on hard 
facts prudently would, judicious application of :-
Alleged, Suspected, Possibly, Maybe, Supposed to be, Somewhere, I have no real 
proof, Might be, Could not find, Not certain.

At no point in the article is there :-
I can confirm, I found, There is.

My personal interpretation of the article , once all the irrelevant jounalistic 
padding (to the particular initial statement) is stripped out, is that he is 
clearly saying :-
"The info I received was wrong, there's nothing there - but there could be 
elsewhere"
and presented it in such a way that the reader is left with even more questions 
arising.

I also note that the header states it's a "tribute to HM written IN his style"
and not "written BY" so is this a third party interpretation of some previous 
material, I do not know the answer to that.


Cheers
