Please photograph and publish it. (Pics or it didn't happen?) This debate is important and shouldn't be muddied with hearsay on all sides.

Thanks.

It is inappropriate to use that fact to dismiss a valid request for the evidence. Being famous in some (possibly popular) website does not mean that one's experience has not been biased.

Oh-kay, now I understood what happened (the fifth level is invisible from the parent comment, ugh). Thank you for pointing out where I screwed up :S
