I like to think that Snowmman is interested in anything I write, but I realize that some might think that arrogant of me. As for Snow's interests these days, I really don't know if he would like to delve back into Cooper World and our exploits here. I'd ask him, but since I know neither his real name or his contact info, I am limited. Perhaps you asked him on the MN? Check the Ramtha stuff that I posted in May, 2014. The real question is: Is Quade interested in the Cooper case, and why has he banned one of the most knowledgeable members of this forum. Now, that's a mystery.

No, Mrs. Cooper, I didn't know that. Speaking of multiple personalities, can you shed more light on why you write about yourself in the third person? Yes, I know you commented a month or so ago saying that you do so as a stylistic thing common to folks your age, but I had never seen it before outside of a psychiatric facility. As for my moving back to New York, I am not welcome there for the long haul, as you know. Apparently I am too abrasive, opinionated, weird and aggressive for NY. That said, I am welcome to visit. Just last week my ex told me she misses me. Speaking of family, how is yours? By the way, Snowmman and I have developed a correspondence on the Mountain News, talking about Ramtha and JZ Knight. He thinks I'm a total nut job, but I'm holding my own and I think he respects me for that!

Now Bobby, let's not practice gender or age discrimination at the DZ. Besides, I turn 65 in September, so Mrs. Cooper is not that far ahead of me in the arc of age.

***** "...Listen - YOU are the BIGGEST LIAR on the THREAD and YOU LIE to damage others..." I may be the fattest poster on the DZ, but as for Biggest Liar, I have to disagree. So what have I written that is a lie? As for damaging others, now that is an interesting subject. I suppose that much of my writing hurts others, or at least makes them feel uncomfortable. So? My perspective is: if you want to swim in the waters of felonious federal crime you better be able to keep your head above water. I acknowledge that not everyone who is a principal in Norjak can do that well, as we have seen many wounded souls get swept up in vertices that seem to overwhelm them, such as Miss Tina. Individuals like that call for a softer approach, and I believe I have done that. Of course, you and many others disagree with me on that. However, 40,000 people visited the Mountain News to see her picture, so her noteworthiness is real. The more important question for Tina is how to structure her public exposure in a way that is workable for all. I have suggested that she hire a publicist or a media rep, but so far she has rebuffed that advice. As for you, Mrs Cooper, you are a tough old broad. Hence, a bit more heat. Besides, I love messing with women who tease.

That is incorrect, Mrs. Cooper. We smoked you out pretty good without telling any lies - black, white or gray.

Not true, Bobby. I have never taken any "short cuts" on interviewing anyone, whatever you deem a short cut to be. All my face-to-face interviews are preceded by phone calls, emails or a letter, which generally do not produce a response. As for writing "bad things" about people when they refuse to comment, who are you referencing? Lee Dormuth and my characterization that he needs some dental work? Don't you find that interesting given that Ralph Himmelsbach receives the same basic pension from the FBI and yet lives in a custom-built mini-mansion on 40 acres of land in Woodburn and has a quarter-mile causeway for a drive way? I find your characterizations of me to be more troubling than my characterizations of Lee, Ralph, Tina, Nick O'Hara, Ron Nichols, Dr Elizabeth Eisenhower-Turner, Arlene Mucklow, Cossey, Flo and Jo and all the rest of those in Norjak who choose not to talk with me in a open manner. You sir, are in the business of character assassination - mine to be exact - whereas I am simply not allowing principals in the DB Cooper case to hide from public scrutiny. Yeah, I know it's hot when I hold your feet to the fire, but you choose to sit here. As for the 1,800 or so folks who will read this post in the next week, as always you can read all of my Norjak interviews at the Mountain News or email me and ask for a digital copy of my book, "DB Cooper and the FBI - An Examination of America's only Unsolved Skyjacking." For those interested, contact me at brucesmith AT rainierconnect DOT com.

Don't worry, Jo, I'm feeling pretty good these days. BP is 120/80, and cholesterol is 150. Also, I see that BK is still kicking. I'm not sure of the importance of that since Bob has failed repeatedly to send me contact information to talk with his attorney or anyone who can corroborate his story. Oh, well. Life in the Vortex is always breezy if nothing else.

Georger, thanks for the Kitt information. Very interesting.

Bobby, I do not have a slanted agenda. Rather, I have a straight forward agenda - if you talk to me I write about what you say. And if you don't talk to me I write that you clammed up. That's pretty straight forward, wouldn't you say?

Hi Everybody- Just got back from NY and my mom's 90th birthday party. What have I missed? I got a strange email from Mrs Cooper, but I didn't read it because it was in ALL CAPS and hurt my eyeballs. In the meantime, I guess I'll scan back through the past 30 pages or so and catch the drift of things. Is anybody in Cooper World having sex with anyone? Just trying to stay current, ya know...

There may be other aspects to this dispute that you are over-looking, Bobby. Suppose Georger and Geoffrey did have their conversation as Georger has stated. Suppose that Geoffrey tells you one thing and Georger another? Is Geoffrey always truthful, and to everyone? If so, then what is the truthfulness of his claim that his book's release a few days after Marla hit the Big Time was not orchestrated purposefully? Similarly, do you beleive that Skippy always tells the truth to you? Do you think he might lie to anyone else? I know that he has lied to me about his relationship with Geoffrey, and I called him on it, after which he laughed like a little kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Perhaps Skippy told Galen all the things that Galen is claiming. It boils down to the question: how does one know the truth, and how does one build a trusting relationship? How does one know that the people you're conversing with are telling you the truth?

Really? While we're on the subject of you, is it fun to talk about yourself in the third person? Just askin'. Your posts are art forms, Jo. Back a few months ago, I wanted to play along with you, so I made a post in ALL CAPS and put in bold. It was fun, but eventually it drove my eyeballs crazy.

Oh, okay. Thanks. BTW: this is the first time you have answered a question from me. Yippee!

Jo, how come you talk about yourself in the third person? I have people emailing me to ask if you are a committee, or suffering from Personality Identity Disorder. What would you like me to tell them? Just askin'.

So, Dannie Ten-Ten, you have two middle names, but what's your first name? Just askin'.

Ouch, your Twins took two of three at Yankees Stadium. And Hughsie is 7-1 or something? Yikes!

You ask some damn good questions Parrot Head. Yea, how would a planter know that someone would find the plant? Hmmmmmmm. That kinda puts a cramp in my The FBI Did It theory.

So, how's the book coming, Mrs. Cooper? It seems that your fingers are loosened up today and rarin' to go!

Yes, but what most of us want to know is, what's in the envelope. Dumb luck, perchance?

Say Dannie Ten-Ten, would you like a digital copy of my book on DB Cooper? I've sent a copy to plenty of people here, such as Bobby, and he could send it to you. BTW, you still haven't aswered any of my previous questions. What's up with that?

Thanks, Bobby, but I'll pass. I'm waitng for the edition that details your extensive and successful probe of Bernie Geestman - who he really is, why he lied, and where he was on November 24, 1971, and of course, what he was doing. Let me know when that book is ready. I'll buy a hard-back edition. Signed, of course. Anything less, and I'll skipp it.

I never really knew why I was put on vacation for six weeks. Quade didn't explain it. He only said something about sexual harrassment, which I don't quite get. I suppose it had something to do with asking folks who had sex with whom in the Norjak case and if it affected the investigation in any way. Besides, the skydivers here seem to boast about their sexual experiences and unbridled libidos - at least back in the 60s. Oh well. As for antagonizing individuals here and elsewhere, let me ask you - do I antagonize people more intensely than you do, about the same, or less than? I'm confused, because I have never called for anyone to be tortured or to have any of their body parts mutilated, as you have. Just sayin', Mrs. Cooper. Speaking of which, Mrs. C, I've never had a spouse threaten to kill 42 people. What's that like? It would make me a little circumspect, such as, how the hell did I marry someone like that??? Maybe that's your book: "Why I married a skyjacker - My life with DB Cooper." Forget Duane (no 'w', no 'y'). The real mystery is you!

Knowing one's limitations and accepting them are two different things, Bobby. I trust that you will one day know the distinction.

Well, Dannie Ten-Ten, Jo gave you some very good advice. Now, let me give you some advice about receiving good advice. Jo is what we adults call a hypocrite. She is advising you not to threaten Bernie Geestmand. By that I think she means not to post your intentions to piss on Bernie's grave because he is a liar. But, this same person, Jo Weber, openly calls for me to be tortured and my body to be mutilated. I consider that is a subtle form of lying, which is best known as hypocracy. If I had to choose between Jo Weber torturing me OR having someone piss on my grave, I choose the pissing. Further, if you are angry at me, you have my permission to piss on my grave at anytime, or where my grave might be once my body gets buried. However, I would prefer that you tell me what I do or say that might anger you. By the way, how come you don't answer my questions or posts?

Bobby, you argue for your limitations quite convincingly. Sigh.
