Hi Steve,

Donīt worry. I am going to do a statistical analysis of the probability that his name could be in the source. You will know the result as soon as it is done, which will probably next week (I have other work to do as well).

Regards, Pierre

So will this be just a probability stat, or an actual name?

[QUOTE=Elamarna;366616]

so its down to your interpretation yet again, why am I not surprised

Happy New Year Abby!

I recall when "Pierre" started his first thread-many moons ago now- entitled "I think I Have Found Him," you replied, "Great, who is it?" I bet you didn't think you'd be waiting this long for a reply, especially as it now seems that the "suspect" is "Metaphorical"!

Hi,

I hardly dare to write this down.

Today I have been examining a data source from 1888. I have been looking at this very briefly before and I thought there was nothing specific about this source. But I made an analysis of it today - and it contains the full name of the person I think was the killer.

There is now hardly any doubt. I must have found him.

But I will not give his name before I have seen the last bit of data. I want to give you conclusive evidence.

Kind regards, Pierre

Excitement

It is metaphorical

Deflation

[John G]

I am intrigued as to motive, though, which I why I've remained engaged. I mean, he certainly seems to be highly motivated, as evidenced by the degree of research he has undoubtedly undertaken and the colossal number of threads he's started.

I did ask him once, only half jokingly, whether he might be Bruce Robinson: an author who is known to have done a huge amount of research and, apparently, as a disdainful view of Ripperologists. Of course, he denied it...well sort of, in an abstract, metaphorical sort of way!

In fact, continuing the existentialist theme, I'm starting to wonder if "Pierre", like his "theory"and "suspect", might be simply a metaphor.

[Elamarna]

Well he could be, but it appears that admin does not want to make the decision.

Aparently not Robhouse

[robhouse]

This guy named Pierre is just a troll, right? Can he just be banned and get it over with? Mods?

Hi all,

my fear is for the continuation of Casebook, as surely prospective new members, are somewhat perplexed by this non informative method.

My thoughts exactly....

Does anyone else feel as though they're going through a bit of an existentialist crises? I mean, I'm starting to get the feeling that I might be an unwitting participant in some sort of social media experiment.

Perhaps it will conclude with the publication of a thesis by, say, an existentialist with several degrees, entitled: A study Defining Symbolic Interactionism's Place Within Social Media: A Postmodern Existentialist Perspective.

Or then again, perhaps not [at least regarding the 'several degrees part"!]

Hi.
Casebook is the worlds best crime site, it has/had a lot of credibility, it has been a joy to belong to this site,for all the years I have, very informative, and very entertaining.
But seriously Pierre is turning this site into a farce, If the said gentleman has something'worthwhile' to say, let him post , or if he intends to publish in the future, fair enough, but to continue to post in the way he does , is extremely childish, very annoying, and insults the intelligence of fellow members.
I have seen many posters like him , over the years, but none so prolific in their postings, I find it amusing , albeit irritating, but my fear is for the continuation of Casebook, as surely prospective new members, are somewhat perplexed by this non informative method.
Regards Richard.

This thread reminds me of volume 47 of the Hardy Boys series,the rejected anthology.
