Lynn, I wish Idle was doing that!

At one point a few years ago my police ranking was "teaboy" and I think I got a free cup of tea out of that, but otherwise I am happy to give you all my posts for free, and -

Idle talk.

Hello Celesta. Blimey, you think Robert merits pay? Rumour has it that Eric Idle feeds him half his lines.

Cheers.

Okay, I'm putting this back. I deleted it earlier for mysterious reasons. :-)

Those who had the privilege of being a member here when Sam was posting do miss his common sense, his research abilities, and his impressive repository of knowledge on the Ripper cases and the LVP. He always had a helpful attitude. Unless he's changed his mind, Sam believes that JtR was an unknown local man, but, on here, he kept an open mind about that and most other issues.

I used to think that we ought to have to pay Sam and a certain other gentleman, whose name begins with an "R", a fee for their quips.

Anyway, I know people in the UK still see Sam, and that he is active.

I enjoy Casebook, and as retirement zooms in [ April] I for one shall give my pennyworth on a regular basis, I find this case as fascinating now, as I did initially many years ago.
Lets hope some of us are still here....

This is indeed good news! Nice to see someone posting that they appreciate the forums instead of bitching about this or that. I too miss old school Ally. It was never boring when she was the Queen (Mean) of the Kingdom. I guess old age has mellowed her out? I'm not sure that absence of John Bennett should be lamented just yet, as I've seen quite a bit of him on the boards lately.

Yours truly,

I too greatly miss Sam/Gareth. He was so interesting, polite and a valuable contributor on so many topics.

Hello Richard. Bunny McCabe (Archaic) is not well. I occasionally hear from her.

Cheers.

Bunny is hanging in there. She has some health issues, which she valiantly faces, but right now she is very busy on some things unrelated to Ripperology.

Hi Lynn,
Sorry to hear that, I should have added illness as another reason

Hi,
I agree it is regretful that so many enthusiasts have left us over the years, whilst some of them remain listed , their contributions have dwindled, here are a few .
My old mate Lea [ Parry]
Glenn.
Jane C [ a lovely lady].
Suzi/diddles
Archaic
Chris Scott[ true researcher]
Even such prolific posters such as
Ally..[ always available for a row]
What about Philip H, and John Bennett
Sam /Gareth [ who invented Nunner's]
We must not forget Bob Hinton, [ we really wound each other up] a excellent author, who brought Hutchinson into the suspect realm.
Others [ too many to list] have fell by the wayside..
So why?
I have to be honest many have left for commercial reasons, Casebook is a good way of advertising oneself, and getting in with the crowd[ so to speak]
others have simply moved on , life presents fads from time to time, and circumstances can also alter routines.
I enjoy Casebook, and as retirement zooms in [ April] I for one shall give my pennyworth on a regular basis, I find this case as fascinating now, as I did initially many years ago.
Lets hope some of us are still here....
Regards Richard.

True and well said, Adam.

Hi DVV,

Yes, it's almost as if some people can't see the forest for the trees. So many problems within the case could be solved if only a smidgeon of common sense and decency were used. Instead, invaluable members come in, make their mark, throw their hands up in despair and walk back out again....revolving door stuff when often it's completely unnecessary.

Cheers,
Adam.
