Anyhoo

it's about time we made a start on this! If we're decided on Ripperology, which angle do you think we should go at it from?

Just typing 'Jack The Ripper' into any search engine brings up pages and pages of stuff - sifting out the good from the awful would be a bit like the old needle/haystack scenario I think. I might look into the whole concept of Ripperology and see if I can nail down when it sprang up as a 'bona fide' 'ology' to study and see where that leads me ... what do you think?

So...

Where do we start, Sam?
