I think I have found him.

Any idea which Manor House?

Hello Chris 23rd UK,

The manor house was , as far as I am aware, named after the The third Earl back in the 1680's..who lost the title after a rather naughty evening with one of Cromwell relations.
Can't for he life of me remember the name though. Perhaps others may know.

I would guess this has to do with a theory on the Manor Farm House Mental Asylum, Chiswick, and the murder of M. Druitt as a cover-up. I would imagine the Tuke family (doctors) plays a role in this theory?

[Phil Carter]

b was at the manor in 1889.

That ok Pinkmoon?

Am I allowed to mention the religious connection to b (?)

Hello Pierre.
You should reconsider. The O's are going to be in series with the Rays. Theres the Poe tour. Antietam. I know some hags from hagstown who would come down. Plus we're all crashing at Abby's pad. Think about it...

Hagstown. LOL.

don't forget about the crab cakes.

[Robert St Devil]

Hi,

Sorry to disappoint you Robert. I have never attended any conference like this and probably never will. I do not know the researchers you are speaking about and do not know Tom Wescott.

I will not be in Baltimore either.

Regards Pierre

Whilst I have the utmost sympathy that much work as been devalued in your eyes, are you 100% sure that Pierre who ever he is was talking about your theory suspect. He gave very little away. Mainly saying what his suspect wasn't.

I do sincerely hope that you have not spoken when you did not need to.

For the rest of us it now just waiting to see who gives a name first.

Regards

[pinkmoon]

ummm. that's rather hypocritical as seeing you were the one who first brought it up!

You have no one to blame but yourself.

cats out of the bag. its a sabertooth and it aint going back in.

It's a bit frustrating to think after all the time and effort someone has said something and its got back to Pierre .

[Abby Normal]

I'm going to have to seriously consider your involvement in the grampton project like tom you seem to have forgotten to keep your mouth shut .

Actually..The grampton jtr casebook isn't a secret..but it is hard to find out about.
All roads lead to the manor house apparently.
It used to be a home for the bewildered in 1888 and there are notes pertaining to the visitors. Written in ink.


That's about as far as I know.

[Panderoona]

a secret no more that's for sure!

[Elamarna]

Ah.

I wondered if it was a place?
Now where is it I wonder?

[Patrick S]

I found that fellow too. But there are some Gramptons, George and William for instance, when you go to Familysearch.

But I am not going to engage in this Grampton stuff. I have my own research.

Regards Pierre

I haven't engaged much on this research of yours, Pierre. Frankly, I hope it's credible, interesting, and leads to much debate.

However, I'll join the chorus and echo the thoughts of those who've speculated that all of this will lead to nothing whatsoever. As has been observed, we've seen this many times before. It's not new. Yet here you are, repeatedly attempting to bait the hook, offering nothing, defending yourself even as you've given no detail. In the end, it's all very odd.

Your approach reminds me very much of experiences I've had over the years on a few other boards where members of another - very different - subculture gather to share information. A few years ago I was active and competing in Olympic style weightlifting. I posted on a few boards. Lifters shared training experiences, injury recovery tips, all that. We had debates with respect to technique, form, how best to prep for a meet, all that. Many of us knew one another, hanging out at meets around the country/world. Like Ripperology, Olympic lifting is not a mainstream pursuit (at least hear in the states).

Invariably, a newcomer would pop up and claim to be a guru, training some new phenomenon who was going to take the world by storm and win the Olympics for the next 12 years. Someone - always under an alias - would begin posting that they'd made huge lifts in training and were going to unleash themselves on we pitiful also-rans and the next big meet. Yet, it never happened. There was always some injury, or tragedy that kept them from showing up. These posters were easy to identify. Grand pronouncements and claims ("I snatched 200kg in training yesterday!") coming from someone no one knew and who refused to be identified, sharing information that was unverifiable.

Thus, I began offering a reward to those who made such claims. $500 to anyone who could make 75% of a claimed lift in the training hall a few days before a meet (that percentage is less than what a lifter will take in training in the days leading up to competition). Not only did no one claim the money, no one ever even showed-up to make an attempt, even though the task was quite simple. For example. A fellow 105kg (230lbs) lifter once claimed that he was planning to clean and jerk 190kg (418lbs) for his OPENER at a meet in FABULOUS Las Vegas. That's not an outlandish claim, but it was plain to me that this fellow was full of something other than protein and steroids. So, I made my offer. $500 if he made 142.5kg (313.5lbs) at the training hall on Wednesday (meet day was Saturday). If he's making anywhere near 190kg in training, 142.5 would be - to put it mildly - a joke, literally his third or fourth warm-up on a moderate training day. EASY MONEY.

As expected, our man was a no-show. He made a few posts about an injury but soon was gone, never to be heard from again. Sadly, I expect something similar here, once you get bored. I hope to be proven wrong. It will be the first time.

Typical! I find things are only secretive if someone's looking to make a quick buck out of it!
