What question would that be?

Have you answered all of my arguments? No, you have ignored most of them. Most of the time, you've suggested that I would just read this or that source, I would get the correct picture, but so far every source you've touted has been either outdated or inadequate. I mean, in response to all of my observations about the problems with the alleged sighting of the JWB initials, you recommended that I read Kauffman, who does not address a single one of those problems and whose entire treatment of the issue consists of a very short paragraph.

I believe that I have the experience, the knowledge, and the background in working with scores of very knowledgeable people in our field to express myself logically.

Then you might want to ask those "very knowledgeable people" about the credibility of dismissing a detailed analysis that you have not deigned to read.

And you might want to find some "very knowledgeable people" who will recommend sources to you that at least try to answer the objections and arguments raised by the other side.

Then your senses are way off.

By the way, just to clarify a point that we discussed in our previous exchange. In my first reply to your response on Thomas's analysis of the FBI report on Booth's diary, I knew that you were saying that I had assumed that the FBI experts did not know what they were doing. That's why I said that I, "unlike you," had not reached a conclusion on the issue until I had read both sides. However, I assumed that you were implying that Thomas did the same thing, since I was defending Thomas, and since Thomas makes no such claim. So when you accused me of having already decided that the FBI experts did not know what they were doing, I naturally assumed that you were implying that Thomas did the same thing.
