Casebook Examiner No. 4 (October 2010)

[mklhawley]

Unfortunately, what Don chose not to tell you was that this was for the one article only, so your latest will look like you paid zillions for a private tutor in the interim.

[Don't say you didn't positively beg for that one. ]

Love,

You guys are too much!

Caz and Maria,

A few typos were slipped into my Le Grand article intentionally. As you're aware, I have developed a reputation for almost superhuman accuracy. Many other writers and researchers began to resent me for my clear superiority, and it was suggested by Don Souden that I make some typos so as to appear less omnipotent than I'm generally perceived. I reluctantly went along with the idea, but it seems to have worked out, as the little people are quite happy.

That's generous and humble of you, Tom. Keeping the editor incognito is a policy which fits the subject. Shhh...confidentiality clause, anyone?

P.S. Oddly enough, I have no idea if Caz edited or has even read my latest article. You'd think I would know that, wouldn't you?

Oh, dear! I am going in my cave now. Dave

[caz]

Sorry, Maria, but it wouldn't be professional of me to comment further - except to say that with a team like ours, I expect everything to be exquisitely written.

Love,

Caz, did you happen to edit Tom's piece for Examiner 4? How many DAYS did you have to work per page? (Just kidding, Tom.) Caz, were you stationEry or mobile when engaging in this?
(Please, don't take this as an atttempt at being offensive, as I'm the QUEEN of typos myself, in every single language that I speak/write. And my posts here on casebook confirm this.)

[caz]

And yes, I expect everyone to compliment my work in CE4, which is flawlessly researched and exquisitely written.

But how did you know?

Just kidding, Tom, just kidding.

Love,

I thought the iPhone application review in issue 4 was utterly splendid....

Me too, Andrew. Not least because your writing makes proofreaders very happy.

It was definitely uncalled for, and I apologize again, but it was not meant with an offensive intention. As for the complimenting, I can't guarantee anything until I read the piece. It might even be severely critiqued.

[Tom_Wescott]

I most profoundly apologize for my very stupid and offensive (NOT truly humorous) post #19.

Yes, it was very offensive and uncalled for, but I do accept your apology. And yes, I expect everyone to compliment my work in CE4, which is flawlessly researched and exquisitely written.

I most profoundly apologize for my very stupid and offensive (NOT truly humorous) post #19. Can't even use the excuse of having being drunk, as I wasn't, I was just terribly exhausted after an intensely long and tiring day (essentially having worked non stop for 22 hours). One of these days I might become able to control my obnoxious big mouth.
I'm looking forward to reading Examiner 4, particularly the pieces on the financial history of Whitechapel and on new suspects (I hope noone starts again with Kozminsky, though).
I'm also very curious to read Caz for the very first time.
As for the R. J. Palmer concluding story, very happily I have 2 old articles by Wolf Vanderlinden available to re-read together with R. J. Palmer's Part 1 and 2, to see how all this adds up. I'm most curious about Simon Wood's mysterious discovery, if he cares to share it with the broad public, if he has managed to “get his ducks in a row“ in the meantime (which brings about a very cute image of ducks in a row).
Might I hazzard a guess and assume that this mysterious discovery pertains to a conspiracy theory? OK, here I go again. It's SO hard to get rid of one's naturally obnoxious disposition. Repeat 10 times: “Gandhi, Gandhi, help me be good, I wanna be humble and good“...)

[mariab]

There are Ripperological iPhone applications? (Not of much benefit to me, since I don't have an iPhone.) Besides the Roger J. Palmer concluding part I'm very curious about the alleged discovery mentioned by Simon Wood which is expected to blow the Palmer conclusions out of the water. I assume the discovery won't be as cryptic as the aromatic ballad verse?
Oh, NOW I get it! Seasons of the case is Caz' editorial piece. (A particularly quick grasp exhibited here.) Many, many apologies.

I thought the new issue comes out on Friday. Someone had a sneak preview, or eventually fishing for compliments on his own work?
