In the vein of giving thanks

[kensei]

I can't believe no one has yet thanked Philip Hutchinson, who had the good fortune to become a Ripper enthusiast with the same last name as one of the major figures in the story and who has got to be the best and most lively Ripper tour guide working today. He laces his tours with bawdy dark humor- which, let's face it, without which we would otherwise come away horribly depressed. His work as a historian is also stellar, documenting the murder sites so very well. Thanks, Phil. It was my great pleasure to meet you in Sept. 2008.

In the interest of soothing Mr. Wescott's mind, I would like to thank Tom Wescott for his inability to stay on topic, offer thanks to anyone, and his complete lack of civility. Respectfully Dave

I would like to thank the many fine scholars who have regularly and generously donated to this site. Thanks to dedicated researchers who have spent of their own time and money to enrich our shared community. Thanks also to the proprietors of casebook for allowing us a space to exchange ideas and research. I ask anyone who reads this and understands what the hell I am on about to respond. Additionally, if there is a special contributor that has helped your understanding, please take this chance to express it. Respectfully Dave

I also need to thank Sam Flynn. Without the guidance he provided i would still be a ripper dumbass. Ally also deserves some props for keeping us honest. Respectfully Dave

And likewise I'd like to thank prototype for his sense of humor and ability to laugh at himself. And, of course, for his civility. No doughnuts for you, mister.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

I don't want to thank any of you people. What has anyone in Ripperology ever done for me!

That Neal Shelden - what has he ever done for me!

And i think Don Souden and Jane Coram are both responsible in some way for my being lazy.

And as for the rest of you - expressing your opinions and theories as well as uncovering and posting facts on a message board about a topic I like and stimulating my mind - why thank you very much indeed.

Who asked you! ?

Hello all,

I am feeling in a greatful mood. Thanks again to all the casebook, good and bad. And to Stephen and Ally, without them, this website would be non-existent.

Also thanks for the numerous researchers who have made Jack the Ripper a very wide field of study.

And to the friends I have made on here.

Yours truly

p.s Mike, you gonna mail the cent or what?

I would second that on Phil Hutchinson and Stewart Evans as well. Don't personally know either, but have followed their work for years. I commend their devotion to a subject in which one's work often receives criticism rather than accolades.

I thank Robert McLaughlin.

I thank both him and you sir, very well done. Without my late night insomnia and your pod casts I never would have made it. Respectfully Dave
