Thanks for the link. I like the idea that people could pay their respects without the bones being displayed. But did you notice that "Richard Plantagenet" is identified in the article as Richard's illegitimate son, no qualifiers or questions involved? One statement after another presented as fact without checking to see whether it has been confirmed. In this instance, I believe that Richard III would have acknowledged the other Richard as his bastard as he did John and Katherine if he really were his son.

Somebody on the other forum said that being a Ricardian made her feel like Sisyphus. I heartily concur.
