Default Truong & Polgar Movements

I keep reading about the FSS posts following Truong & Polgar from
Texas to mexico City. Are there any other movements that both
the FSS posts and Truong & Polgar made together? Do they always
go places together, or can we find a time when Truong is in one
city and Polgar in another and then see which place the FSS posts
came from during that period?


I seriously wonder if any effort was made
to determine such things, objectively. From
many of the postings by the real Sam Sloan,
it was apparent that he strongly disliked, and
perhaps was even jealous of, Paul Truong.

Since everything I have read placed these
two (PT and SP) together all the time, it
seemed a bit odd that PT was being singled
out, and Susan Polgar just given a free ride.
The one thing that seems to pertain to PT
specifically, is the comments which specify
that postings came from "his" computer; I
can only assume that SP either doesn't own
a computer, or else that she has her own.

Some people have argued that (presumably)
PT was reacting to "attacks" on SP, that it
was only normal for him to try to protect his
wife by lashing out at the attackers, and so
forth. This smacks of the old two-wrongs-
makes-a-right math error we often see crop
up when other possible defenses have failed.
And its frequent appearance seems to point
in the direction of PT, because they do not
suggest that SP was "defending" PT, but the
other way around.

I find it strange that anyone would make
such postings as those by the FSS from a
computer which could easily be traced back
to them. Clearly, this was done by someone
who could not see even two moves ahead.
