While we all want to see her safely returned, the thread is a discussion about her abduction, and in particular (as per the first post) about how irresponsible her parents were. I very much doubt that any post in this thread is going to result in her being found.

"An anonymous email has swept through Portugal calling for the "minute of hope". Yesterday there were plans to extend the silence to Britain.
The email reads: "Madeleine, Monday 12 o'clock - a national one minute's silence to raise consciousness about the disappearance. Pass on the message""
What exactly will this achieve? I honestly cannot see how a minute's silence is going to help. How, exactly, does keeping quiet for a minute "raise consciousness about the disappearance"?
"In Britain, celebrities touched by the disappearance have united in their support for the McCann family by wearing yellow ribbons."
Again, what practical way does this help to find the girl? All it says to me is that the "celebrity" wearing it is saying "Look at me. I'm such a nice, caring, supportive person. Please like me.", because, of course, those of us, not wearing yellow ribbons couldn't care less
I don't mean to sound flippant, but if "celebrities" want to help in a practical way, then all well & good. Wearing a tacky piece of yellow ribbon says more about the wearer's ego than their genuine concern.
