Love interest? Not enough evidence, IMO.[]

I know that there's been speculation that Shams and Mudie may possibly have been romantically involved, but I have to question whether or not that should be listed in their profile, since as far as I can recall there is no conclusive evidence whatsoever that this was indeed the case. 

To the best of my recollection, their only direct interaction in Stargazer was limited to a brief conversation about the situation at the end of Stage 1, and some casual banter during the battle in Stage 2 shortly before Mudie's rather gruesome death. They were teammates and good friends, we can infer that much, but none of what Stargazer showed indicated anything more than that. 

I know that Shams pretty much went ape-shit after Mudie died, but that again is still not conclusive; Shams, who struck me from the start as being somewhat less even-tempered than the other two, might've been reacting that way because Mudie was a close friend as well as a teammate(I know if I saw something that horrific happen to one of my friends, I would probably react exactly the same way), or he might have been romantically interested in Mudie without that necessarily being reciprocated. I just don't think there's enough evidence - or any evidence, really - to make that call based on what we do have. We can mention it as speculative in the Notes/Trivia the way it is, but I do think that mention should be removed from the profile itself.

As per the discussion on Holcroft the Mudie Holcroft talk page, the "love interest" line in the info box is being removed due to being speculative and not confirmed or supported in any substantial way by official material.
