Cutting Point

[Fisherman]

Iīll see to it - I cleared away a lot of posts on the other site but forgot this one... Thanks for pointing it out!

[Herlock Sholmes]

Forget? Iīve got a better memory than an elephant.

Or was that a rhino ...??

By the way Fish, your inbox is still full.

Available on all good riverbanks...

Thanks, Etenguy!

Meant to ask - where will the book be available?

Hi that’s really good news. Enjoyed the documentary watched it a few times now and found it really interesting.
The only two critical points on the documentary are
1 the leap of faith required to accept Letcmere may have stayed at his mothers one particular night
and
2 The summing up by the prosecutor/ lawyer at the end when he announced a case to answer.
I often wonder if he had said no case to answer would it have been cut out.
I disagree with his assumption I don’t think there is enough to “ take the case to court”.
Minor thought but you come across as a really good guy and I for one am looking forward to your book.
Good luck and you must feel very proud of your achievements
regards.

Don't forget, I'm the one who encouraged you to push the victimology up a bit to Chapman. Beyond that, it's pretty dicey. So now you can join Lynn Cates as the "two-off" guys in Ripperology, for victims Nichols and Chapman, suspects Lechmere and Issenschmid. Both very good theories.

Thatīs not for me to say. However, Edward has an immense lot of material to bring to the table, and let me tell you, Herlock - you donīt want to miss out on that! Ideally, he can put a book out there when the interest for the carman has peaked.

Cheers Fish

Has Ed Stow abandoned his book Fish now that you've beaten him to it or is he still working on one?

So this explains your absence from the boards, of late.... Nice one!

You were always good at connecting the dots, Joshua ...

Yep your book may persuade me, I will read with an open mind.

If thereīs one thing Iīve learnt over the years, then that is that even the arguments you yourself regard as completely solid will always be able to find themselves a fierce adversary among the people dealing in ripperology. It will always be a question of interpretation and personal views, and it really cannot be any other way. Out here, some of the most knowledgeable and discerning people share band width with people who are ready to go to extreme lengths and beyond in order to defend what is sometimes realistically undefendable.

In the end, all one can hope for is what you put on offer: an open mind. And if you can make a case good enough for the ones with an open mind to pause and ask themselves "that really isnīt a bad theory, is it?", then you have achieved a lot.

Stay well, Gut!

Major achievement. Best of luck with the book, Fisherman. Look forward to seeing it on the shelves.

Thanks, Etenguy!
