I prefer the truth.

No. I don't know the truth of the matter. In this painting by my sister
he has his eyes closed, so I cannot see the colour.

Must have been a female flatmate! Blonde, probably!

The truth can change depending on perspective, that is part of the problem.

It was at the start of every episode.

"To boldly go where no man has gone before"
A reference to having sex with someone that hadn't had sex before seems obvious to me.
She may have been a bit of a minger, but she still could have been a nice person.
But then again there's never beena picture of her or her hubby.
Hardly any refernce to them at the time not even by the romans who were very good at recording such important things.

Why would I bother. She or Etresoft has no influence on my life that I know of.

I can't really judge as I don't know much about how to judge whether a picture is good or bad.

What stands out is how white he appears when the people that lived in bethlelhem were quite dark skined even up until 20th century
https://sussex.figshare.com/articles/figure/Local_men_and_boy_in_Bethlehem_c_1890-1900/7252199.

Since then I guess with travel and mixed marriages people of that area may be more white, just like in east london today people
seem to be more dark skinned, further east they become orange.
But when I was young I painted a picture of what I think was donald duck and it was put on the classroom wall.
So donald duck must have been a real duck called donald, I reckon there is/was such a duck called donald
whether he did all the things I was told he did was another matter.

All seems pretty boring to me.
Why did you feel the need to ask someone else if you can purchase a pro version of anything.
