That's not how you make it sound!

I'm neither a total skeptic nor totally convinved. But that answer satisfies no one. The skeptics hate me and the believers despise me. So what's new?

Not really true. That assumes that every grunt needed to know all the ins and outs, from the people making the circuit boards, to the men putting in the fuel before take-off. No covert op requires every person to the nth degree knows everything about the op. If they did, it wouldn't be covert. Every grunt did their particular job assuming the end result was to get men on the moon. Even mission control. Men read what their computer displays tell them and if the computer displays tell them a man is on the moon, they aren't really going to disagree. But, IIRC, Mission Control ran a few rehearsals using prerecorded flight data. Now, if they were told a real mission was going down, how would they know the difference between a rehearsal and a real mission? In truth, only a handful of people needed to know. The astronauts are hardly likely to tell. They'd be worse than scum for their deception on the public.
As I said, I'm in neither camp but to either camp that statement places me in the opposite camp.
That would still leave, at least, a good couple of hundred though. And probably dozens and dozens more with suspicions but no proof. Too many bright people were involved to not know, I think.
Chip's home early to let an electrician in. The electrician's making ominous comments about the entire house needing rewiring. Chip isn't listening.

He can piss in the wind! I'd rather die in an electrical fire. That'd learn him. That'd learn him good!

I do wish you wouldn't bring your pecadillos to the threads, Marc! 
Fair enough.

Also, you should never throw water - or urine - on an electrical fire.

This is a very good point - especially if the urine is still connected upstream to your penis!
