Hi Jason C.,

Good news.

Charisma by-pass operations can now be reversed.

Regards,

Simon

No, it's all about whom you feel is the best suspect. And make no mistake, suspect is all you'll ever have.

I suggest that you look back over the published record and see what has been said about Charles Warren, Henry Smith, Henry Matthews, Melville Macnaghten and many others. I would venture to suggest that I have read more about Anderson than you ever have.

Im not talking about published records. Im talking about these messageboards.

Read more about Anderson than myself? Hold on until I undo my flies and start a pissing competition with you.


"So Caz, "parity of information " per suspect doesnt really figure does it .
why ? Especially as this book claims to present, presumably objectively, only "The Facts".
Which facts about whom ?"

Natalie, its an unfair comparison. Ostrog is pretty much a non starter to investigate. Chapman wasnt a serious police suspect at the time, apart from an interview given by Abberline to the newspaper. Tumblety wasnt much of a suspect either, we have one letter to a journalist(still, it was enough to write a book). The only fair and proper comparison you make is Druitt's lack of parity of information to Kosminski's.

Zounds, Stewart!

You swore on Robert Anderson's sacred salt-cellar from Tsarevitch Nicholas that under pain of death you would never reveal the existence of our fraternity.

Hey Wormwood,

Tell Screwtape to watch this space.

Hey Elphaba Thropp,

Do you offer spanking vouchers?

Hey Nats,

Never mind. My next question is merely a fantasy . . .

Hey Tom,

Boats aside, you are molto perspicace. Pazienza, caro ragazzo.

Regards,

Simon [O.A.R.]

Then perhaps Norma you would like to explain to everyone precisely where Martin Fido got it wrong?

It should be an interesting essay as even the 'Begg' has declined to do so?

Pirate

But Jeff, Ally has just done so ,quite wonderfully in just a few words! Just read her post-that I reposted here just now.It says it all.

Yes I to am bemused by Simons track record? He does appear to have come up with some fairly bizarre stuff in the last year. However the "Great wizard" has told me to pay respect as sometimes he apparently comes up with the odd gem?

I don't know if Begg actually said this or you, but I wholeheartedly agree. I would not be in the least surprised if Simon unearthed something very, very important in the case. In fact, I'd put him towards the top of the list of people most likely to do so. Of course, in the interim we must suffer Eddowes in a boat, his nurturing of less deserving cranks such as Perry Mason, and the like.

Oh come on TOM, we all know who runs decisions in Admin. The fact that there are those in admin who wish to have an excuse to ban my posts is hardly new territory? Especially given the large number of threats in my PM box?

If you're right, it's strange the people who annoy her the most aren't banned sooner...or permanently. But I don't really pay attention to that stuff. Of all the message boards I've frequented over the years, Casebook is far and away the most lenient. Don't get me wrong, I've received my fair share of warnings over the years, but thinking back they were all from Stephen, with one or two from Erin, when she was a moderator. None directly from Ally.

I am slowly becoming a Tom Wescott FAN!

The Great Wizard would never stand for it.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott
