Your opinion on why New Salem died

[Joe Di Cola]

Liz,

When I made mention of "reinforcement", I was not thinking that things were being rehashed. Rather, I was referring to the action-reaction effect of even responding to some posts because it will only result in another "Oh, Yeah?" rejoinder from those who, for example, see Lamon as an unimpeachable source. You and Bill and others are absolutely right in your assessment of Lamon.
