Casebook Examiner No. 1 (April 2010)

[Tom_Wescott]

Here's a thread I created 13 months ago called Michael Kidney's Theory, where I mention Le Grand taking Kidney to the police station. Nice try, AP and Nats.

It is true, Tom, ya'll all remember just how silent you fell when I put that suggestion across on the JtR Forums - just like Palmer did when I did it to him over Tumblety - and it is there so don't be shy about it.
As I said, Tom, you all clean the ovens while I cook the food, at least the folks know they are getting first class genuine ingredients instead of some cowboy copying my recipes and using a microwave.
I'm going to deal with you in my own sweet time, and then I'll turn my wrath on Palmer.
You cowboys are in for a hot ride, so dig those spurs in deep boy.

What on earth does that mean, Natalie?

Yours truly,

I hope nobody believes this is actually true.

Don"t be frightened, chaps.Everything will be ok --ie -so long as you dont make too many bad jokes that only you find funny .

[Tom_Wescott]

have risen from the dead just to say that Tom Westcott must have been so damned pissed at me for suggesting - many weeks before him on the boards -that it was Le Grand who took Kidney to the police station in a cab.

I hope nobody believes this is actually true.

Yours truly,

The Jersey lip returns.

Thought you left for good AP? Went running after you were proven as a liar.

Welcome back Sweetie.

Well thank you, Robert, for a resolute post in the face of this sudden love fest.

Just like Palmer, whom I scooped on his great new information about Tumblety, I got there before you bunch of cowboys.
I ride the range, you boys get to clean the ovens.

Hi Stewart

Your views on the declining importance of books as against the cutting edge of the internet reminds me a little of someone whose intials are A, P, W.

[Tom_Wescott]

Hi Wolf, can't wait to read 'em.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Wolf Vanderlinden]

Hi Wolf. Any chance we'll see a new controversial write-up by you in an upcoming Examiner? Yours truly,
Tom Wescott

No. But on the other hand I am in the (extremely slow) process of re-editing all my past articles and will offer them to the Dissertation Section of the Casebook. This includes my latest, unpublished, article which I already gave to Stephen some months ago. I also have a long list of articles to be written so, time (and Carrie Brown book writing) permitting, I'll get around to those as well.

Wolf.

It looks like Monty feels the debut issue of Casebook Examiner is just what the doctor ordered, while Stewart sees it as a chef's blend of top notch material. So it's unanimous!

Regarding Stewart's observation that Ripper books are outdated, I might be inclined to agree if it weren't for the fact that readers feel differently. New students to the case, and many old ones, will buy numerous books this year at $20 or more each before they even consider subscribing to Casebook Examiner or Ripperologist, even though the magazines offer far more information at a much better price. This was true even when the journals were all print. I think it's because people see books as 'expert works' and journals as the realm of the amateur. At some point perhaps that perspective will change, but it doesn't seem to as of yet.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Steady On

The man with the green face says "I bid you welcome to my dungeon..."! Cue spooky music.

Steady on John, you'll upset him, he's the shy retiring type.
