I don't think its the story that captivated most people, so much as digging for information about it. that was the fun part. and so many minds working together. is amazing....and finding out info in record time no-less

Redmange- I'd like to know what gingerlad is on about as well. I'm a member of the FT boards and there is nothing happening there. I even went there just a couple moments ago and the only mention is ruffready's knurdbeer.com post. Which appears to be a chain of bars.
I'm not seein the Serpo connection.

Hi Red,

Seems Chapman was actually one of them, they were hiding right out there in the open all this time.

They have a disdain for UFers; as they like to call us.

Hi Cowboy,

seems the heirarchy at FT have been running a this hoax for the gullible and is an example of how easily we are bought. Would that be about right Mark??

Are we to take your word for this and call off the whole thing based on you saying so?

I don't mean to sound, well, mean, but why should we believe this? You need to provide some evidence or something.

And I, at least, have never heard of Fortean Times or Fortean or anything you're on about. I am not a 'UFer'.

If you have some information, I'd love to hear it, but I need more than a shout in passing. Please take a deep breath and explain your position.

Thanks.

ruffready, had a post saying that him and a couple guys from fourteantimes concocted the whole serpo deal, he then congratulated you and Val for doing a great job...but, the post is now missing.


the post was on page 222 and was part of a triple post by ruffready.

my spelling sucks

I dont think thereis anything to be missed. Just another blind finger-pointing incident as far as I can see. gingerland has yet to post proof of anything. Looks like another "Im Anon!" post.

There seems to be a trend here. A trend of new ATS members doing just about anything to derail ANY kind of coherent dicussion (for/ against) on Project Serpo.

Serpo isn't even mentioned anywhere in their site... so their story seems unlikely.

Benevolent- I don't understand it and I'm a member on the FT boards. Come clean with us here gingerlad. You can join up easy enough.
What did I miss gingerlad? I've scoured the FT website and I'm confused.

I think it's safe to say that serpo "Jumped the Shark" when anon2 came on board.

I was some what on the fence until today.

It certainly is the second decisive "turning point" in the story (after the switch to "Anonymous Two"), and was the "nail in the coffin" for fence-sitters and partial-skeptics. However, it retains enough doubt to keep the believers thinking of enough possibilities to fuel speaking engagements and book deals.

There you have it.

yeah they got a 6 page thread on their forum....I'll check it out and report back *salutes*

BusyMind, thanks to you and your hubby for that input. I know exactly what you're talking about.

One thing that bothers me is that the 3 'toilets' aren't all facing the same direction. Wouldn't they have to be for them to work as your DH suggests?

Interesting ideas.

Not necessarily. That was what had it seem so familiar to me in the first place, with all the electronic stuff I've seen my hubby work on.
The two facing in the same direction would be used in initial mounting, with the third being used to secure it in place. Thus, the opposite direction. You'd have to unscrew or unbolt the securing one before you could slide the piece of equipment off to replace it. Got it?

Yes, the post is now "missing".

Ruffready "pulled a chapman" and claimed credit between Post Number: 1972150 and Post Number: 1972198.

Curious that it's now missing entirely, thought only mods could "clean up" like that.

Gingerlad

Like BH, I wouldn't consider myself a "UFer" but I did find the "story behind the story" quite engaging since the serpo tale was such swiss cheese.

Do you have any links to verify these claims?

[edit on 2/5/06 by redmage]

Don't bother Waffle I've been there and there's nothing.
Oh and it's 8 pages now.
Still nothing there. Now can we get back to the C2C anomoly.

I would like to change my vote as given earlier. Keep this Thread open for a long time until it is archived. A reminder for many. Good disscussions and interaction among memebers. I will state in my last past. What if it were real? How would it change your life. It appears this thread was their life. Maybe some people should get a new perpective. For you who will not listen, their will be another serpo coming soon.
