Well i have been here a short while

I guess i come across as cynical
i guess I question a lot
but i have been an academic too long
sorry guys but thats me
Thought i shoud introduce myself - Im from the UK - have an interest in the occult and UFO's from an early age - and conspiracys haunt me at times - but a plea
a conspiracy is something with evidence not circumstance - check some history - read some books - then post.
As an historian we have to choose between primary and secondary material to determine truth - the web is not either.

anyhow rant off if you eould like to know how I got here and what makes me tick read on

Not only is it very nice to meet you, but I appreciate your comments.

(I don't have a lot of faith that they will stick, but I appreciate them nonetheless...let's see if you made a difference ).

Thank you for the comments - I appreciate them - and Its nice to know some one reads them - I look forward to a long time on the boards and to hearing from you if i stray from a topic.

As we say in England

Cheers

chears mucka...

oh sorry... hello welcome to the board...

its nice to see a fellow englishman such as yourself here...

over and out....!!

Well my ex wife did say i was a cold fish - sushi i think she called me - and gaff is a brown nose - so i guess im safe saying hi -

Greetings and welcome to ATS Silk.
Your are correct in your premise of primary and secondary sources in doing historical research. Inferences, contexts, and interpretations come to mind here.
I do believe that gulliblility and discernment would also fit quite nicely into the above process.
I do hope you enjoy your time here and stay ever cynical...it can and will come in handy.
