georger 268 #9677 April 7, 2009 Quote I do agree with you. Let me poke around here and maybe we would want those samples after all. I just cant get my mind off the matter. I keep coming back to it no matter how I juggle things in my mind. I will make some calls and get back to you but if we could do this I think it would be very worthwhile. I know a gal in USGS that might be interested. We also have a guy here at USGS who did his work in Washington. I will talk to these people and get back to you at the latest mid next week. But I really would love to do this. It would definately stir the pot - and be worthwhile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyjack71 0 #9679 April 7, 2009 QuoteJo you missed your calling as a fiction writer.Give up this fantasie of Duane being Cooper and become a fiction writer you would be realy great at it. Not a writer, not fiction and not a fanasty, Truth sometimes is far more stranger than any fiction someone could envision. Give up on the DNA unless you have access to this politician or his relatives and his security crew from 1968. Wonder if they tested the multiple particial DNA's (that is what CARR said to me) for family links. Guess they would need the mothers DNA for that. DNA testing cost thousands of dollars and it is my understanding the FBI has a very tight budget for such a very old case. Not here to banter just to see what is going on. Do you still swear the places (I described in 2001) do not exist and that I never found them? Do you still insist I did not have witnesses with me? These places do exist. You are the ground man - for Himmelsbach and for others. They depend on you to be right and if you let your own agenda regarding Cooper get in the way then this is never going to be solved. The major problem was your understanding what I was saying was that I thought I was on the Columbia in 1979 with Duane.Yes, we did go to the Columbia on our return trip from Seattle to Tahoe. It was the part of the trip from Hwy 14 to interstate 5 - you were not capable of thinking like a woman who had never been to WA in her life and a mysterious side trip her husband made on that trip in 1979, I told you about his disappearing that morning from The Dalles for several hours and when we finally left there around noon that we CROSSED the Columbia and turned off of Hwy 14 just where the road split off - in 1979 they had widened the road right at Washougal. Back then I didn't know we turned at Washougal - I thought it was further down 14. The only map we had with us was Northwest map of several states and an Atlas. (Remember that Duane did not need a map). Even when I went to WA in 2001 - they provided a guide who didn't have a clue what I was talking about - he took me the directions I thought we went and we ended up in Washougal, but were he was taking me was familiar but not the route or the lake. I knew I was in the general vicinity - I had kept saying river and wide - so all they did was try to take me to rivers. This is why I was so discouraged. The morning after the crew left - I was waiting for my ride (I had arranged to stay an extra night and these people where going to help me find the places). You problaby are unaware of my Angel Udell - a female truck driver. Everyone here knows that story so I will not repeat it. At her instructions and wth the help of a lady who lived on the Columbia in 1971 - I went right to the locations I had spent 4 yrs trying to describe to you. Please be kind enough to think about this with an open mind. It doesn't mean you made a mistake or that your theory about Cooper is wrong. All it does mean is that you couldn't undertand nor could others what I was TRYING to describe to them. Now with all the developement in those area - I doubt a trace will ever show up, but I can always hope for another miracle. I think I have had all the miracles I am entitled to in this life. Thank you for listening (reading this) and hope you understand. You could have been a lot of help, but you chose to take an opinion and hold to that opinion without an open mind. I also should not expected anyone to get inside of my head and see my memories - I did not have the knowledge of WA to find the location of the memories. I got lucky with the River Lady and my Angel Udell. Just luck.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All it does mean is that you couldn't undertand nor could others what I was TRYING to describe to them. On the other hand, there is something called the Stranger's Syndrome which works in cases like this. People in new places are unfamiliar with things which often seem complicated, disconnected, and large with many small niches. Children go through this growing up in their own backyards. When visited later as adults these areas always seem smaller and most people wonder how a small area could ever have seemed so large and complex, and forboding. Sometimes people's illusions are shattered ... where of course the adults in the picture knew all along what the reality was. How could you be expected to know and understand the area of southern Washington first time out, much less describe it to a native! The reality did not fit your dreams. You were the stranger in a strange land, not Jerry! I have people show up on my road every now and then who seem to know more about me and my property than I do! They always are wrong and it can get a little irksome. (City Yuppies with a map and a program)! I doubt it ever occurred to you Washington could swallow you up, just as it did Cooper. And now, by all accounts, it has. But the monument to Crazy Horse isn't finished either! Maybe Snowmman, 377, and Sluggo have taken that task up?

And if you mention DB Cooper nobody familiar with the Cooper case is required to reply either - including DB Cooper himself!? You just want an audience and no replies? Definition [forum]: An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site.[1] People participating in an Internet forum can build bonds with each other and interest groups will easily form around a topic's discussion, subjects dealt with in or around sections in the forum.[2] Troll Main article: Troll (Internet) A troll is a user that repeatedly and intentionally breaches netiquette, often posting derogatory or otherwise inflammatory messages about sensitive topics in an established online community to bait users into responding, often starting flame wars. They may also link to shock sites or plant images on networks that others may find disturbing in order to cause confrontation. Trolls known as gravediggers (or necromancers) purposefully post in old and irrelevant threads simply to bring that thread to light again. Spamming Main article: Forum spam Forum spamming is a breach of netiquette where users repeat the same word or phrase over and over, but differs from multiple posting in that spamming is usually a willful act which sometimes has malicious intent. This is a common trolling technique. It can also be traditional spam, unpaid advertisements that are in breach of the forum's rules. Spammers utilize a number of illicit techniques to post their spam, including the use of botnets. Double posting One common faux pas on Internet forums is to post the same message twice. Users sometimes post versions of a message that are only slightly different, especially in forums where they are not allowed to edit their earlier posts. Multiple posting instead of editing prior posts can artificially inflate a user's post count. Multiple posting can be unintentional; a user's browser might display an error message even though the post has been transmitted or a user of a slow forum might become impatient and repeatedly hit the submit button. Multiple posting can also be used as a method of trolling or spreading forum spam. A user may also send the same post to several forums, which is termed crossposting. This problem was inherited from Usenet and is a common complaint in many forums. Western-style forums often allow an avatar and signature. The avatar is generally a small image often limited to 80x80 pixels (other common dimensions include 100x100 and 90x90 pixels) and limited to a certain filesize (6 kilobytes and 50 kilobytes are common) displayed below a user's username. The forum signature (or sig) consists of text and/or images defined by the user and appended at the end of each of his posts. Both fundamentally are just expressions of the user's creativity, although some posters with an agenda use their avatars to drive home a point, or to offend. Trolls are especially prone to this unwanted practice desiring to offend fellow posters when their messages have not gained acceptance. Forums prefer a premise of open and free discussion and often adopt de facto standards. Most common topics on forums include questions, comparisons, polls of opinion as well as debates. Because of their volatile and random behavior it is not uncommon for nonsense or unsocial behavior to sprout as people lose temper, especially if the topic is controversial. Poor understanding of argumentation theory and differences in values of the participants is a common problem on forums. Because replies to a topic are often wording aimed at someone's point of view, discussion will usually go slightly off into several directions as people question each others validity, sources and so on. Circular discussion and ambiguity in replies can carry out arguments for several tens of posts of a thread eventually ending when everyone gives up or another similar debate takes it over. It is not uncommon for a style over substance or ad hominem debates to be the ones to take it over. Other problems on forums include catch-22 logic, regress arguments, vagueness, counterfactual history arguments and so on. Flame wars Main article: Flaming (Internet) When a thread — or in some cases an entire forum — becomes unstable the result is usually uncontrolled spam in the form of one-line complaints, image macros or abuse of the report system. When the discussion becomes heated and sides do nothing more than complain and not accept each other's differences in point of view, the discussion degenerates into what is called a flame war. To flame someone means to go off-topic and attack the person rather than their opinion. Likely candidates for flame wars are usually religion and socio-political topics and ill-logical unfounded claims. Threads which degenerate to a level below the forum moderators are usually locked but when the problem is considered contagious they are deleted. When a topic that has degenerated into a flame war is considered akin to that of the forum (be it a section or the entire board) spam and flames have a chance of spreading outside the topic and causing trouble, usually in the form of vandalism or outside messages and email which threatened or makes false claims about individuals. Some forums (commonly game forums) have suffered from forum wide flame wars almost immediately after their conception, because of a pre-existing flame war element in the online community. People with heavily invested positions are prone to beginning flame wars, brought into a forum from some previously existing history in which a poster was defeated or suffered loss.

quade 4 #9697 April 9, 2009 Jerry, You can't control anyone here but yourself. I suggest people worry less about other people's behavior and more about their own. "Truth" can be subjective depending on a person's point of view, which they are entitled to not only have but express. If you'd like to address other people's facts, go right ahead, but leave the personal attacks out of it. Lastly, I wasn't and am not just talking to you, but the participants of the thread in general.

You'll Never Know If You Don't Know Now. Jo, True, you didn't take the easy route. Your Duane is Cooper (or Duane knew Cooper) theory is very convoluted and very hard to accept. I don't think there is a single person on this forum who accepts it. Still, I admire your tenacity. You are like the Energizer Bunny. 377 You and Jo are both energizer bunnies and have no mercy! Most people know the difference and vomited years ago. We are supposed to stick to facts, and THAT is the single most dominant FACT on this board! You are applauding carnage! ***PLEASE*** GIVE IT A REST! And Im speaking for a lot of people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
377 22 #9700 April 9, 2009 G, What's wrong with a bit of kindness or tolerance? I don't agree with any of Jo's Duane is Cooper theories, but see no need to attack, deride or ostracize her. The level of anger hatred disgust that Jo seems to arouse surprises me. This is just an obscure forum, not real life. All she does is post words. Hard to see why that is so enraging to some. ""Carnage"? "Vomiting"? Come on, this is just an Internet forum. You can ignore Jo. If I irritate you, you can also ignore me. Or, you could try tolerance.
