Jack the Ripper A-Z

[Chris]

BALFOUR, ARTHUR JAMES [p. 42]

The Fenian plot involving Millen, Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee and Williamson's journey to France took place in the summer of 1887, not in 1888.

It seems that the A-Z authors are only mentioning researchers names where there is a published article or book that they can refer to (and obviously they can't provide links to posts are threads which are clunky and change or get deleted regularly), and it must be for this reason that people such as Chris Phillips and Debra Arif are not mentioned more, though why Chris is not mentioned (as is Debra) in the acknowledgements I cannot say. I've seen my name about 7 times, 6 of which were in the sources for entries which referred directly to published articles of mine. In one occassion, I was mentioned in the body of the text (Le Grand). There may be more occassions, but I'm only on the J's. I believe Debra was mentioned under Rose Mylett for the one published essay she has, that being the fantastic piece she co-authored with Rob Clack.

Yours truly,

Doubtless Rob Clack and Philip Hutchinson are going through it with a fine toothed comb to see which of them got more mentions.

Incidentally, the text is searchable on Amazon's website, which makes it easy to see that there are 11 occurrences of "Robert Clack," 5 of "Philip Hutchinson" and 4 of "Robert Linford."

Oh yeah, cuz Rob and Philip don't have huge ******* egos.

I can't abide huge egos.

By the way, if they only mention me 4 times then it's a rotten book and I hope no one buys it ever, ever, ever.

[Tom_Wescott]

I'm ego free and personally don't care how many times I'm mentioned. Now if someone could please run that free word search on 'Wescott' and post the count here, that'd be great. Not for me, of course, because I have no ego and couldn't care less...but my legion of fans might be interested.

Yours truly,

Seven mentions as Wescott, and one as Westcott.

Westcott = Grrrrrr!

Westcott knows his stuff, but I'm not sure about this guy Wescott.....probably trying to bask in Westcott's glory.

My, my, Tom. You're a veritable Buddha aren't you?

[Chris]

My, my, Tom. You're a veritable Buddha aren't you?

I think you must have misheard that.

Nice one, Chris

The batteries in my hearing aid aren't too clever.

I'm ego free

Isn't that Spanish for "friendless"?
