Lynn, the quote key looks like this:



Just highlight text and hit that key. This might be helpful to you I hope.

Save, at any cost.

Hello Roy. Yes. Thanks. But that takes up so much extra space. I see some posts that have reams of such quotation and two lines in reply.

And since I am by nature a thrifty and economical chap . . .

Cheers.

By using that key you only put in quotes what you want. Just a suggestion.

Hello Roy. Thanks. I forgot to mention my Neo-Luddite aspect too. (heh-heh)

Cheers.

Hi Lynn.

You can also hit the Casebook "Quote" button, then backspace over the lines of text that aren't pertinent to your reply.

(Or scratch them out with a pointy rock; whichever is easier.)

That method keeps the poster's name with their quote, and makes it clear that it is a quote.

Best regards,

Alternatively Lynn can carry on doing what he's quite happily been doing for years now, and continue making his ever pertinent observations!

All the best

Hi Roy, can we quote you on that?

Yours truly,

Yes that's a wrap, Tom.

As I mentioned I read Simon's article in Rip 90. Proposing Mary Ann Nichols was not murdered where her body was found on Buck's Row. But instead killed somewhere else, maybe Winthrop Street around the corner. Then her body carried there. Which implies more than one person involved. Which implies not the lone serial killer.

Primarily based on the doctor initially saying he thought the body was moved. And the lack of blood at the scene.

Hello Bunny. But the technology allowing the rocks to become pointed is beyond me. (Think about your posting name. Heh-heh)

Cheers.

assumptions

Hello Dave. Thanks, but you may assume a bit much, there.

Cheers.

dress

Hello Roy. Those are some solid reasons.

If I recall the police/medical speculation at the time, it was thought that her dress absorbed a good deal of the arterial blood.

What is your take on that?

Cheers.

[Roy Corduroy]

That's what I thought, too Lynn.

But if she were murdered on Winthrop Street and her body carried to where it was found, the route was across two railroad bridges and around the Board School. Quite a haul.

Hi Roy,

Not so fast, Krilencu.

What we don't know, of course, is whether there was a way from Winthrop Street to Bucks Row/Durward Street via Mr. Brown's Yard.



If so, surely this would have been the answer to a murderer's prayer.

Regards,

Simon

Buck's Row, again

Hello Roy. Thanks. In which case Buck's Row seems the place where it happened.

Cheers.

Cui Bono--Sonny's brother.

Hello Simon. Good point, and one must consider all angles. But, hypothetically, is there anything to be gained from having Polly killed there and removed to Buck's Row?

Cheers.
