He contacted me directly to direct me to his site but when I asked he would not reveal who he was.

Oh, come on Richard... It's your split personality!

Also, REALLY interesting articles they are posting.

The articles are certainly interesting but my knowledge is not in 19th Century items, so it is not me or my alter ego .
And my expose web page (www.richardsimonsports.com/hofauto2.htm) is not anonymous.

Thanks Richard. I have a problem with people who write articles like these but choose to remain anonymous. As such I won't read them anymore.

I would have to respectfully disagree. What matters to me is the presentation of a solid logical argument about a subject that interests me. I know that this particular blog has gotten a lot of attention among serious researchers.

I like what this person has to say and how he/she says it, whomever he/she may be.

Dumb question, but why doesn't the FBI demand the name of the consignor of the items attributed to the Cooperstown Forger? These items have to enter the arena after they are completed, so wouldn't that be a logical place to start?

Well Jake. With any luck, they already have and are putting their case together as I write this. And NO I do not believe in Santa Claus nor the Easter Bunny!

The real problem is that the FBI has basically turned into Santa Claus over the last 20 years. Neither exists!

Not so sure about that. And I don't believe in Santa.

Yes Mark, agreed that what I read so far appears to be accurate. I've known all about that trophy case for a long time so the facts seem solid.

But I don't like anonymous posting on the internet on principle. I think it's a slippery slope that allows someone to say whatever he pleases without repercussion.
