My dear Kate, I wasn't being pedantic nor snarky. You mistook my intent...I wasn't criticizing your choices at all. I was merely addressing your last question as to why the woman hadn't come forward yet, by suggesting that it's most likely she hasn't because she is dead. Please don't sic BD on me.
Someone asked why there weren't more lists with high and mighty figures like Jesus and Alexander the Great on them. I don't know about you, but I like my dinner parties to be fun, with people that can carry a conversation on a wide variety of topics. If I wanted to be preached to or lectured, I would go to a church or university symposium, thank you.
Anyway, you want high and mighty, here you go: Satan, Jesus, Eve, Lilith, and Moses.
Here's another approach...
Hitler, Stalin, Torquemada, Benedict Arnold, Idi Amin...and I would poison them all.
