Mean?

There seems to be yet another world expert in our midst.

I didn't know that there was one already - unless you mean what I think you mean.

Hi Canucco Dei Mergi,

I have just read your post to Stewart Evans.

Now I have no hesitation in stating that you're f*cking barmy.

Canucco Dei Mergi is f*cking barmy. Whoops! I've said it again.

So sue me!

Regards,

Simon

I think Steward Evans that the only thing you could not bear would be all what this case is about.
As a policeman first.
As a genuine searcher - that you undoubtedly are - second.
And, yes, as an english man, third.

But there is no truth that will not be revealed one day.
And who knows if that day you would not come to think that...it would have been better after all.

Embarassment ?
Oh yes, there will be a lot.

[Canucco dei Mergi]

Canucco Dei Mergi is f*cking barmy. Whoops! I've said it again.

So sue me!

Why should I sue you ? I don't even know what is a 'barmy'.
But yes, I think you are a bit hard.
Is it necessary ?

[Simon Wood]

Hi Canucco Dei Mergi,

"Barmy"= mad, crazy, unsound in mind, delusional etc. etc. On consideration, I favour delusional.

A bit hard? Not at all. In a Dodge City poker game you would have been shot dead by now.

Lay your cards on the table or leave the game.

Regards,

Simon

I can't do more than propose to the administration of this site - as I did and told you I did, so why you go on saying that I must do it ? - to reveal what this affair was about, from the beginning to the end.

But if I can only but propose, the others must accept the proposal.

And who among the talented - really meaning it - boarders here present could even accept the idea to be told the solution by an unknown italian ?

Who among them could even think such a thing (a shame ? a scandal ? an insult ?) feasible and possible ?

This I certainly understand.

That's why I underlined to the administrators of this site that I don't need my name to be put forward.

I don't know what I can do more.

If my intervention shake the earth under the Ripper community, if my innocent and generous proposal of contribution raise some fear that what has been built up to today could become in peril and that this would not be acceptable, this I could also understand.

But to believe that I am here to tell you that if you allow me to put a word in the affair I will explain you what happened in Whitechapel in 1888 just because I like to lose my time and your kind patience, it is, we should agree less than credible.

Not to speak about the aim of raising my intelligence above the others since I am the first to say that what I know it is certainly not due to any superiority (what would be anyway the gain since nobody knows mle in person).

I am serious in my proposal.

But if you turn to the ironical aspect as a mean of defense from the 'foreigner', I still can understand it very well.

I, too, praise the quietly atmosphere of the family surrounded only by well known friends and supporters.

I will have in this case to choose other ways and to fight my battles alone.
Who knows, maybe I will come out stronger from it.
Or, like others, dead.
It is a risk.
I agree.

Hi Cannuco,

May I inquire as to whether you asked the administrators of this site for something in exchange for your information?

c.d.

[Canucco dei Mergi]

Hi Cannuco,

May I inquire as to whether you asked the administrators of this site for something in exchange for your information?

c.d.

No.
Indeed I offered them.
Not only the solution of the case but all of the rest: "what is good for me will be good for you".

If today I would agree to speak it is because of money and nothing else.
Butnot your money.
I am not interested in fame and glory and indeed I even would like not to get the limelight.

But the solution of the case deserves better than that.
So I give it to you (all of it) and we split the rest.
If you are capable to get the rest (this would be your job).

A last point.
If I speak about the 'solution' and about 'money' the two things must not be confused as cause and consequence.
Coincidentally, the two things might be reunited, but the need of one has not been the cause of the birth of the other.

Hope that my scant english is not source of confusion here.

Anyway, if you need more, ask, I will give.

[Simon Wood]

Hi Canucco Dei Mergi,

You either know something about which we lesser mortals are ignorant, or you are full of sh*t.

As a gesture of good faith, please provide one example of something which history has got wrong about Jack the Ripper.

Regards,

Simon

I'm damned sure I heard the satisfying clunk of a Samsonite briefcase just then.

Canucco,

I'm perfectly sure that if you have a case to put forward and write it out as a dissertation and send it, Casebook would be happy to publish it.

And even aside from that, you have every right to start a thread explaining your case - you need no permission, nothing more than the time it takes to write the post.

If you have a theory, I for one would like to hear it. However, all this hinting and suchlike merely makes you look foolish.

And I don't think your nationality is at all relevant - they let Australians in here, for goodness sake.

Hi Cap'n Jack,

There is no Samsonite suitcase big enough to contain £75.00 in Italian currency.

Regards,

Simon
