Hello,
I am Merijn, maintainer of Laurenīs official webpage.
I was finally able to check this website and I have my sincere doubts if
Lauren really has put this picture in herself.
I know her and her family very well. On many occasions I have visited her place and met
her family.
For a fact I know that Lauren hardly spends any time on the Internet. Also I know that
Lauren would never post her picture like that to show off to other people.
In class Lauren always hears from the other girls "I wish I could be you Lauren". Lauren
is the only one who doesnīt think that.
Also the suggested comments seem to be too obvious.
Also the page that was referred as the url she likes is the backup page of Laurenīs website.
Lauren maybe knows about it but I doubt that. She and her family if they watch the page go
to the official site at huizen.dds.nl which is linked from Yahoo.
Also at her mothers work they block the webpages that have been accessed the most each month.
Geocities and Hotmail were the first to be blocked!
All these reasons led me to believe that itīs someone who on purpose puts Laurenīs picture up there
and pretended to be Lauren himself. Yes I think she is a he. I have no idea who has put it up and
only if we were able to view the logfiles of this then we could guess.
But I know very certain that it wasnīt Lauren. Also it wasnīt me, as I donīt have the time for this.
I hope this sort of clarifies the situation.
Kind regards
Merijn
