Peter is on-target.
We don't make internal activities public, but there's no shame in revealing that the technical damage done to this forum was severe in the extreme. It took the good offices of an extraordinarily talented group of IT experts to save our archives, select and learn new operating procedures, erect defenses so that this sordid history did not repeat itself, while simultaneously seeking to expand DPF in breathtaking new ways.
Many bugs have been ironed out. We're working on the rest.
Your point is well-taken and will be addressed.
Bear with us. Please.
Until then, wouldn't a seance at the Ferrell gravesite provoke some interesting phenomena?

WOW, what a thought. I have heard lots of things that I am hesitant to even ask about, but I will enter with one question: Jack (or anyone) Did Mary insist on taking your photo if you visited her? I only knew her in writing and over the phone.
In terms of personal anecedotes some of us have many and I certainly found yours most interesting, Jack.
I will share my most strange one: In 1974 I was doing a research paper for a government class on the assassination. Harvard's vast liabrary had a card catalogue listing several critical books but none were to be found in the stacks. A friend I had known for several years -Bernie Bane- had every critical book on the subject and was kind enough to loan them all to me so that I could do my paper. Bernie was a sweet fellow but his claim to fame was his own publication, entitled "The Bane In Kennedy's Existence" which postulated that JFK had never been killed at all. A belief Bernie held until his death a few years ago.
Bernie refused to collect social security and supported himself via a vast collection of credit cards. When some of the banks took him to court over the unpaid debts Bernie would, in his defense, advance his personal conspiracy theory.
That would be the end of the case.
