    but with no sunlight or stars, city lights with thin, mostly green (some orange) signal transmission arcs travelling to and fro various locations
    around the world . . . too many red flags about this website, seems more
    like a company storefront, entrapment scheme, honeypot, etc., and anyone
    that wants to "rat" on anyone else must have some sort of personal issue, grievance, vendetta, financial motivation, or who knows what? you decide:
