Hello David. Close. Try "paedogogic."

Cheers.

Hello Caroline. I am suggesting that it was figured out later.

Cheers.

Ugly word. Try it yourself.

Stephen, don't tell that old skintflint who wouldn't invite me a barrel of Bruichladdich, I beg you.

Lent

Hello David. Well, you could loan me the price.

In the meantime, will you give up the lone serial killer rot--just for Lent?

Cheers.

Looks like a Jehovah's Witness desperately trying to sell his trash, my dear...

Hello DB. Is it possible that one of the police "solutions" coincided with the real solution?

Cheers.

Anything is possible, but I think it only slightly more likely the police solutions and suspects are the real solution than "person or persons unknown".

Although it is possible someday we may run across the evidence to "solve" the Whitechapel Murders, in the meantime we are in the realm of "informed speculation" with a very limited amount of clues, some of which are of at least disputed reliability and relevance to the crimes.

Having said that, our quest for possible answers, with prehaps inobtainable goal of a real solution, isn't without merit and is certainly a healthy mental exercise.

By the way, to paraphrase Hunter S. Thompson, I would never recommend alcohol, drugs, or insanity, but I find barrels, or any sized container, of adult libations enormously helpful in my somewhat feeble attempts to make sense of the White Chapel Murders . . .

Dum spiro, spero.

Hello DB. Well spoke that. Yet hope springs eternal.

...when you're down on your knees.

Yes, I quite like the idea that a few senior police officials got together about 1892, when over the files and picked a likely Ripper out of a short list of suspects. It was quite likely decided it was Kosminski, but really should have been Cohen.

You'll tell me who was under lock and key one day, Stephen.

Well that would be a fine thing, David. What one has to ask is how an unknown and uncaught serial killer can have a finite number of victims.

You're a thoughtful person. Think about that.

Hi Stephen,

"What one has to ask is how an unknown and uncaught serial killer can have a finite number of victims."

A most excellent question.

Many thanks, Simon.

I do try.

Ah!

Hello Stephen. Now you're talking.

Cheers.
