It is such a shame to see the flagship magazine Ripperologist floundering. For what it is worth I think it was caught between a rock and a hard place. Yes, when Paul Daniels was editor it did have the 'homely clubby' feel of a 'in house' mag and Paul Daniels did a fantastic job. Yes, perhaps the 'Rip' did need a shove forward, but was it a shove too far? Adam Wood, I know for a fact put in hours and hours of unpaid hard work to bring the 'Rip'to a wider audience, but was there a wider audience? How much can the big world out there take of a 6 times a year magazine mainly devoted to an 'English' event that happened 117 years ago? True crime magazines only exist because they cover all crimes and all years and in all countries. Adam's artistic and design qualities deserve a bigger stage. He has much to offer in new ideas and layout skills. I just hope he isn't lost altogether from the JTR publicity scene.
Meanwhile the Whitechapel Journal has got back to grass roots and at the same time makes the members of the society feel it is their magazine and they are a part of it, along with the society.

Hi All,
Coral Kelly must be getting pretty fed up. She tells me that her phone hasn't stopped ringing since the Rip sent the letter out about going electronic. She says it went on for four hours on Thursday evening! For God's sake, what's the matter with people?
Coral has nothing to do with this!
Love,

A MESSAGE FROM RIPPEROLOGIST
The Message Boards at the Casebook: Jack the Ripper are a valuable forum open to everyone to express his or her opinions freely on matters concerning Ripperology or other subjects under rules and regulations established and enforced by the Casebook administrators. Ripperologist has welcomed debates on the Boards about its contents and its orientation in the past and will continue to do so in the future. It considers the present debate as an expression of the value attached to Ripperologist as an important research and opinion tool and of the concern felt by some of its subscribers and readers about its transition to an electronic format. Ripperologist respects the views of its subscribers and readers and has their best interests at heart. Every serious letter or message addressed directly to Ripperologist will be answered and every reasonable concern will be met.
The Boards are not, however, a shareholders' meeting, a court of law or a public assembly where Ripperologist must appear before its accusers to defend a legitimate and well thought out editorial decision. Nor is it a free-for-all where non-subscribers usurp the representation of subscribers, posters hiding themselves behind pseudonyms launch cowardly and libellous attacks on the personal integrity of the Ripperologist editorial team, touts attempt to lure disaffected readers to other publications and individuals who are utterly ignorant of the law make ill-advised threats of legal action. Ripperologist is grateful to those posters who have called for a more mature attitude on the Boards and appreciates the views of many others who, while understandably concerned about the future of their favourite publication, are willing to keep an open mind and give the new Ripperologist a try. Of course, Ripperologist respects the decision of those who may decide not to follow it in its move to an electronic format. Most subscribers have already expressed their support for the move in private or public communications. To them Ripperologist is especially and sincerely grateful. Within a few days, the new Ripperologist will arrive on subscribers' screens. Subscribers and readers are requested kindly to reserve final judgement until then.

For the record.
The 'Whitechapel Society 1888' is its own organisation with its own constitution and has no affiliation to any other Ripper-based production. We advance the study into the Whitechapel murders and the history of the East-End.
That is the truth of it all. Please all respect that and do not pressure our members personally, or otherwise on questions other than those that pertain to the WS1888 and its Journal. We have no connection to the 'RIPPEROLOGIST' and, therefore, we can not answer any questions - in any form - that concern it.
Please respect that wish. Also, please do not mention the WS1888 and its associated productions in this particular message board anymore as it is beginning to get a bit tiresome.
Those who have been kind to us we do wholesomely appreciate it - thank you. Others who have been negative: please cease now!!
Thank you.

I have been out of the country for a couple of weeks & have come back to the Ripperologist letter. It is a great shame it has gone electronic.
The letter says the 'the next issue is ready to go. All you need to do is let us know your email address where you'd like to rerceive it'
Has anyone actually done this?
If someone has - what was he outcome.
Are all the subscribers to Rip scared to do so? |

1. "...touts attempt to lure disaffected readers to other publications..."
>>Who do you think might this be referring to? Hmmmm??
2. "Ripperologist is grateful to those posters who have called for a more mature attitude on the Boards..."
>>And who and what might this be referring to? It looks to me like someone at the 'Rip' has been reading the Founding Principles of the 'A?R M&R' thread.
I think a valid contrast is being drawn here. Use your heads, folks. Compare to the best of your ability. Don't take a pig in a poke.

Hi Caz,
Thanks for your reply and even though I may believe I'm right, sorry if I have offended you or anyone.
I must have got my Morrises and Bradlaughs all mixed up. I blame Howard for confusing me.
I do read your posts and have, on occasion, learnt heaps from you on the approach best to view the evidence. Can I say that?
Now that the e-Rip is hatching, and the 1888 are on record, all is well. I'm so relieved!
Cheers and a happy holiday season all. |

The content of the post from "Ripperologist" is sober, mature, and informative. However, it is ironic that a message criticizing others for posting their opinions anonymously is sent without personal attribution.

Ripperologist respects the views of its subscribers and readers
Is this why they didn't bother contacting us for our points of view?
Oh Monty, the first shot in the Luddite War took place on the outskirts of Nottingham. It was even suggested King Ludd was stocking-maker Gravener Henson, a Nottinghamian although I do agree Ned Ludlam was a Leicester bloke.
Pah! Leicester people are always coming to Nottingham to cause trouble.

Two rumours.

Two that Ludd never played snooker.
Seriously, you are correct. Ludd is a myth. I suspect your version is more truthful. So it would seem the trouble maker is a local boy whilst us Woolybacks are a peaceful and innocent race.
Now where is that frame?

Ripperologist, I would have thought that the Casebook message boards are a valuable forum for posters to express their opinions on anything they wish so long as they don't embarrass the administrators or breach any legal requirements. That includes giving their opinions on Ripperologist if they want to.
The comment about what the 'Boards are not' in paragraph two of your post sounds defensive and speaks of 'posters hiding themselves behind pseudonyms' and 'cowardly and libellous attacks', which almost sounds like a veiled threat.
Ripperologist has already decided to go electronic and this is a fait accompli, so subscribers, who have already paid for future hard issues, really have no option other than to wait for the ethereal substitute. It is possible to judge now for if a subscriber wants a proper magazine, hard luck, he ain't getting one. |

“Posters hiding themselves behind pseudonyms launch cowardly and libellous attacks”
Yeah the irony of the Riperologist team hiding behind some sort of gestalt organism whilst accusing others using anonymity of cowardice isn’t lost on me.
“Within a few days, the new Ripperologist will arrive on subscribers' screens. Subscribers and readers are requested kindly to reserve final judgement until then”
I don’t understand the “don’t make a judgement until you have read it” argument, the actual quality of the content of the magazine is not the matter of discussion here, the quality of the articles may well be excellent, but the fact is I, and many others it seems, do not want to pay someone over £20 a year to be Emailed once a month.
“(Nor is it a free-for-all where) touts attempt to lure disaffected readers to other publications.”
Uh… sorry yes it is, it’s a free market, the UK and the Usa at least are (reportedly) free countries, and as long as they do not lie or make false claims about you or your publication they are free to advertise and tout whatever they like.
“individuals who are utterly ignorant of the law make ill-advised threats of legal action”
Sorry I for one am not ignorant of the law, Coral is quite right a contract HAS been broken here and while no one is seriously advocating legal action the Ripperologist people HAVE to make restitution to anyone out of pocket as a result of this action i.e. subscribers who do not get their full 6 copies.
“(The Boards are not) a public assembly where Ripperologist must appear before its accusers”
No you are right there but since there was no consultation with the readership and since the first anyone got to know about this was a letter it is reasonable that people feel aggrieved and want some sort of answer from those responsible. A professional organisation would welcome the chance to interact with its readership in this way.
People posting on these boards are just embracing the same 21st Century communication technology you seem oh so eager to embrace.
I am sorry but I dont find find the Ripperologist teams posting to be sober and mature it is simply rude, arrogant, unprofessional and unnecessarily confrontational.
We the subscribers PAY for our subscription and we have every right to voice our displeasure at an arbitrary decision made without consultation. A decision that will leave many of us without the magazine we have paid for. |

And what is it you're not going to judge until you get? Have you never seen a PDF attachment before? it would appear the new Rip will resemble the old Rip, only in PDF format. Therefore, it's simply a matter of do you prefer to read magazines in hard copy, or do you prefer to read them online. Other than that there's nothing here to judge.

Are you willing to vote with your wallet? If you email me privately in the next 48 hours, with information that you are willing to support the new Rip with a subscription, then you have my word that I'll dip into my very deep pockets and do the same.

From today’s papers :
RIPPER WORLD IN A FLAP
There has been widespread alarm and despondency within the Jack the Ripper community since it emerged that ‘Ripperologist,’ the magazine devoted to the study of the Whitechapel Murders, will henceforth be sent out by carrier pigeon.
“This is a sad day for Ripperology,” moaned one subscriber. “Because I am a true collector, I keep the pigeons as well as the messages tied to their legs. But there are many pigeons involved – you can only get one or two sentences on each pigeon – and the birds are beginning to take up rather a lot of space on my bookshelves. Worse, they keep hopping around, which makes the task of cataloguing them a real headache.”
Another reader complained : “I live in Australia, which is a long way for pigeons to fly. I’m now resigned to getting my copy a little late.”
A spokesman for the magazine denied that this was all about saving money, pointing to the cost of bird seed alone. He also confirmed that there were no plans for the pigeons to write any of the articles. “A pigeon did send us some material, but the creature had its facts all wrong. It insisted that Kate Eddowes was murdered in Trafalgar Square.”
The editors of arch-rivals “Ripper Notes” assured their readers that their product would still be published in its traditional, whole-magazine format. “However, our next issue is the biggest ever – 21,963, 457 pages long – so we would ask our readers to be patient while we find and train the albatrosses capable of delivering our great value mag.”
The row continues.

Well, call me old-fashioned, but web periodicals certainly isn't my cup of tea. Sure, you can download the PDF and print it out, but sitting with printed out papers stapled together as a home-made product is not the same thing as a genuine mag with a thicker quality on the cover and with binding. It just feels amateurish and cheap. Not to mention the fact, that if you want to use an ink printer (for best results) it certainly isn't cheap to print out.
Can't say I am keen on this idea at all, and I believe it will be the end of the mag. But that's just me.
All the best

Hi Robert,
I don't know about pigeons. One of our cats, Wilf, once brought a racing pigeon in through the cat door - alive and in perfect condition, so we sent him on his way, no doubt in for a damn fine hiding when he finally got home, long after Rip's pigeons.
But I'm waiting for the semaphore version. The thought of watching Adam and Eduardo waving their lovely flags up and down is getting me all of a quiver.
Love,

Legend has it that Mark Twain once had the unpleasant experience of hearing that his obituary was being printed in certain American newspapers. In response he sent off a telegram from London.
"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."
Having read the new Ripperologist, I tend to think that our feathered friends with the hunched shoulders will have to circle a bit longer. |

OK, I've avoided posting in this thread until some time had passed and the people getting the electronic version could evaluate it properly. Well? What do you think now that you've had a chance to see it, people? Is the e-version better or worse than the p-version? Or is it simply different? Will it make the passing grade? Only you users can determine all that.

I like it Dan.
I think its 'different' rather than better or worse with a couple of points to mention about the "better' side....
The instant link to other URL's for further reading is a nice feature.
As one example of the e-version's "edge" with this issue, Mr. Simon Wood's article almost HAD to be in color. His article on the MJK1 and MJK3 photos would not have had the impact that a b/w series of photos would have.
and from a purely personal view, none of the pages will be dogeared or circled for quotes and facts...I'll have to write them down in the future. |

Howard, try copying from the e-version and pasting into a word processor file of your own. You can get endless snippets of text that way. Quicker than writing notes by hand and then typing them into the computer anyway.
If you happen to use the Mozilla suite, there is a free web-page Composer that you can use to save text and illos together. That way you can have a note file that you can refer to when/if you decide to write a rebuttal or reply of your own. The Mozilla Composer is a useful toy to those writing e-texts. Check it out, Howie. I think you'd like it.

*Vila does a Snoopy dance and is so pleased that Howard Brown is going to check out Godzilla. But is too busy to post.

My first reaction is, "OMG that's crazy". But then I'm thinking this just may be crazy enough to work.

By the way, Paul Begg apologized profusely for having referred to Nick Warren (Ripperana) as an 'editor' in issue #61. He knows that many of you were turned off by such malicious slander (referred to by Warren himself as "childish name-calling) and hopes that, over time, this "slip" on his part will be overlooked. Personally, I'm not sure we should let him off that easy. After all, he publicly called his competitor an "editor". I wonder what would happen if he tried to pull that crap with Dan Norder. Things could get ugly.
Yours truly,
