The PURE supporters have their own computers, the staff probably have access to more than one. the scenarios are endless, so there really is no way to know for sure.

I can vouch for this statement. What Antigen may not be aware of is that many of the PURE trekers are from all over the country.  It is not only those who work in the office of PURE.

I recall that Spots asked specifically for responses from former students. She also asked some very specific questions. So far those questions have still not been answered by any former students.

nope, they haven't.  It doesn't really need an answer.

Because some of these folks have been posting here since long before PURE ever even existed.

BTW, Spots, you're dead on correct about most people wanting to just move on. I know that not wanting to make war with my own parents when retreat was a viable option played heavily into my decision not to join in the criminal investigation or any of the civil suits against Straight. Even years later, most of the people who happen along here are careful with about what they'll say, how they'll say it and to whom because they've made some kind of peace with their parents and they just don't want to open old wounds needlessly.

There was one case where a parent who's son had died in a drunk driving wreck wrote a really hostile and cruel letter to the St. Pete times in response to a story on Straight. Right away, people who actually knew the folks involved came forward with the other side of the story and all agreed to let the sleeping dog lie in peace. Turns out that it had been this proud Straight graduate who had been falling down drunk and who'd run a red light, causing the accident.

The other car, ironically enough, was full of Straight pull-offs who had not been drinking that night. Neither the police nor anyone else involved saw any reason, either then or now, to compound the suffering of the grieving family by making that little factoid a part of the official record.

In retrospect, maybe that was a bad call. All these years, this guy is aparently seething with hate for the drunken druggiekid who took his son's life, not knowing that his son was the drunk driver in the story.
