What's your profile for Jack?

If you wish to catch the eye of a better buyer best have something better to sell.

Exactly. That is why the make up industry is a multi million dollar business not to mention the fashion industry.

Hello Tom.

"There's actually more evidence with which to conclude Stride was soliciting than Nichols."

Except personal statement.

Cheers.

Neither stated "I'm going soliciting!" nor "I'm not going soliciting!"

Yours truly,

I interpret it as they all wanted and needed money.

I interpret it as they all wanted and needed money.

...and not one of them would have turned down money if enough was offered. Regardless of what they were wearing or what their intentions were for the evening (soliciting, not-soliciting, meeting a beau, drinking with friends), they were all experienced prostitutes. If that's what the murderer was looking for, that's what he got.

Hi Fitz

It's no less an absurd theory than some of the fare which circulates around these parts.

Hello Lynn,

Rather than repeating that question over and over again perhaps you could put forth some evidence showing why you believe that they they never engaged in prostitution or were not soliciting at the time they were killed.

I suggest this respectfully as opposed to it being sarcasm.

Hello CD. Thanks.

Very simple answer. In mediaeval disputation there are 3 standard replies to a proposition.

1. Concedo (I grant it).

2. Nego ( I deny it).

3. Dubito (I doubt it).

My position vis-à-vis Liz and solicitation is, quite obviously, #3. I make no wild claims concerning her not soliciting; but, neither do I make wild claims that she was.

I think many of our firmly ensconced positions depend on our leaping ahead of the evidence.

Hello Michael.

"they were all experienced prostitutes"

Evidence?

Is someone who built a home an experienced home-builder?

Hello Lynn,

Ah, the old mediaeval disputation response. I should have seen that one coming.

Theorising that Liz Stride knocked on the door of the IWEC, was received, and then murdered by one it's members, would such theorising constitute leaping ahead of the evidence ?

Hello Michael. Thanks.

Ah, the non-virginal. In that case, had any of the C5 given birth, I should have not looked for a bright star in the east, for I don't think THEY were virgins.

Now, I'm off to seek three wise men posting. (heh-heh)

Cheers.
