Captain Peter Swallows stupidly missed the point and posted from his beloved
Google Groups account (rather than his manlymail account):

Well, your whole life ****ing is a BUSINESS, innit?

As I stated at the outset here, you missed the point: Jill was implying
that the story is not factual, i.e., that there is no kidnapped child, no
frenetic bicyling daddy, and no massive manhunt.A search for [bicycling
europe andrew] comes up only with the page you cited. If there *were* such a
massive manhunt as you believe, don't you think that it would be carried by
almost all news outlets? God knows the "Amber Alert" system would leap all
over the case if there were a legitimate case like that in the USA; all TV
shows in progress would be interrupted with all available details.
