: : : : : Hey murf - were you referring to the Dr. message?
: : : : :
: : : : Yep Amy, thanks. You're right, just because he says that's who he is doesn't mean a thing. Plus Newt searched faculty @ Vasser & Don Foster doesn't show.
: : : : jameson - Where are you? What do you know about this kook?
: : : : Murf

: : : Yeah, he wasn't listed a year ago so I called the college to check . He is there OK - and his wife and a kid as well. Wife worked in the day care or preschool program they have there.
: : : I posted more on the thread below - but he IS who he says - Shakespeare expert - of course he can say anything he wants and mst stand in awe - not like Shakespeare can dispute any of it.
: : : ConnieToo's neice took classes from him - he is different.
: : : I had his on-line photo bookmarked - look up any of the faculty and replace their photo name with foster - should get ya there. And there is some college student acting group that had a skit on-line about Foster's detective side-line - he is a character! :)

: : Ok jameson - Why is he writing me? Didn't he finger you as the perp?
: : Tell me that story again PuH-LEeeee-Zeeee. How did he go about doing it?
: : Do/did you exchange Email with him? What, he just decided your posts
: : sounded like the killer? I forget jameson, tell the story.
: : Then what did you do? Did the BPD call you or did your local Sheriff
: : bring you the news? How does one go about proving they're nobody?
: : After you were the perp, then it was the guy at maketoast?
: : What happened there? Did authorities contact him?
: : If you know that story will you share?
: : My neighbor's were here on Christmas night '96. I hope they remember
: : that. BUT - I read in the profile the killer would have or have
: : established an alibi?!?
: : Basically I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't? {G}
: : Write to me jameson! Dish - Dish!
: : Murf

: jameson,
: Ahhhh - we must have been posting at the same time. While I was writing the
: questions, you were answering them. {g} Thanks for the info.

I have phone numbers for some of those people - and if you NEED to prove you are nobody, I will vouch for you! :) Bet the chitheads will too. LOL

: : : : : : : After reading Gemini's thread this morning (which was surprisingly unflamed), I thought that 'motive' would be good subject for chat. So far, the motives we hear mostly about are the Ramsey's motives, and they make no sense to me. I thought many of the ideas on that thread were worth talking about. riv
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Mornin!
: : : : : : : Motive sounds good riv.
: : : : : : : I'd like some advise today because last night I received an Email from Don Foster.
: : : : : : : Copy & paste below:

: : : : : : : From: Don Foster
: : : : : : : To: box99@iname.com

: : : : : : : Dear Murphy,
: : : : : : : Are you the same helpful Murphy (i.e., Murphy's real name removed) who was posting to the
: : : : : : : newsthreads months ago? And if so, may I call you to ask a couple of
: : : : : : : questions about the Boulder News threads?
: : : : : : : (Prof.) Don Foster
: : : : : : : Dept. of English
: : : : : : : Vassar College
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : Anybody/Everybody
: : : : : : Why me? I have no special knowledge of the threads. Why can't/didn't he ask me in Email?
: : : : : : Because he fingered jameson as the perp, I fear I'm headed for the same hassle.
: : : : : : Paranoid - probably.
: : : : : : Murf
: : : : : :
: : : : : Another thing - Why would he need to 'call'? What kind of question could anyone
: : : : : possibly have about the threads they couldn't ask in an Email?
: : : : : Murf
: : : : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: : : : He fingered jams? I apologize, but I haven't been posting all that long and am relatively confused...who is this guy?
: : : : And why the hell is he bothering you? There is no reason to "call" - don't you dare give him your phone number.
: : : : Paranoid - probably NOT. I know from experience, murf, let him email you. You don't want strangers knowing where you live...
: : : : BTW, it's the internet - you call can be whomever you want to be - if I wanted to tell you all I was Nancy Regan, how could you disprove it? Don't trust him...

: : : I don't know why he would want to talk on the phone execpt he doesn't want any paper record. I have a LOT of e-mails from him - and a certified letter - and I am sure he wishes I didn't.
: : : He started e-mailing me saying he was not interested in the case but in the community of posters ,how they act being anonymous , how they may say things they wouldn't ordinarily do, etc, etc. Then we e-mailed a long time.
: : : THEN, I started getting a few contacted by a few Boulder people, including a reporter and a private eye, and someone from the college there. Seems my name was coming up as someone who was connected to the crime.
: : : THEN I received a certified letter from Foster saying he didn't understand why I was involved - at that point I was an accomplice - but he would help me turn myself in – such a nice guy. No lie - I have the copies - and so does Boulder.
: : : At that point, I contacted Boulder - told them that I knew Foster had turned me in as suspect – and told them whatever they wanted to know to prevent them from wasting any time investigating me.
: : : After that, he e-mailed me addressing me as John Andrew.
: : : I assume Boulder told him he was wrong about me - and then he focused on MakeToast. MakeToast and I exchanged e-mails from Foster.
: : : The guy is a creep - his students have a skit about him on-line somewhere, I didn't keep the URL but am sure you could find it - he is like the mild mannered English professor by day and some awesome detective at night. LOL If you all think I am John Andrew, I have some oceanfront property in Tennessee that I will sell ya.
: : : Let's see - what else do I know - - Oh there is so much. . .
: : : He badgered Boulder about his credentials and this case - he was brought in and allowed to compare the text of the note with other writings - and what has not been reported publicly but reached my ears, is that he couldn't say a Ramsey wrote it. His name was mentioned - they said he was working on it - but no one ever published the results - This from the man who uncovered the author of Primary Colors by using his little Macintosh program. But since the news didn't damn the parents , I guess the papers didn't think it was worth reporting.
: : : He monitors the forums, could be writing a book, is married, wasn't teaching the semester before JonBenét's death - was on a lecture tour but no one will share his schedule so I have no idea where he was the night of the murder.
: : : And while the title VASSAR PROFESSOR impressed me a year ago, I have to tell you, this man singlehandedly taught me that the title mean s nothing other than he shows up there to work. There are asses in all walks of life.
: : : jams
: : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: : jams:
: : Ok, now I remember! You and (curious?) and some other people were talking about him way back when when I first started posting.
: : Gotchya.
: : Now, as for oceanfront property in Tennessee, is there beach access? :-)
: : I don't think Murphy should tell this clown anything about herself, AT ALL. He sounds like an absolute nutcase! Murf - you listenin girl?!!!!!!!!
: : :)

: What scared me is that after reading hundreds of my posts, and maybe 50 long e-mails , he decided I was JAR and part of the murder. He actually told me that after he helped me turn myself in and confess to my part, that I would be able to face myself in the mirror with a bit of self-respect!!!
: Does anyone think I have a low self-image? ROTFLMAO
: And THEN, after the BPD and DA and Ramsey investigators were all told about his accusations, theories, whatever. . and they all were told exactly who I am. . . they actually consulted him on the case as an expert!
: If I seem jaded against so-called "experts", can ya blame me? What a loser this one is!
: I am only glad I mentioned him in chat months before he was mentioned in the case - not even the flamers could deny what I said - they have the logs. Oh, and the one post I made in BN - I had forgotten about that - and the flamers had a great time with my denying I had posted on the forum about him - Oh well . : jams
