Happy Newbie!

Postby Aries » Mon May 26, 2014 12:36 am

Hi everyone! I'm really excited to be on this forum. For years I've had a great interest in famous crimes, esp. those never solved (Black Dahlia, Jack the Ripper, etc etc etc) and of course, Zodiac! I've done quite a bit of reading about Zodiac but as you probably know, there is surprisingly little available. (I would gratefully welcome any and all suggestions!) I have vague memories of Zodiac being discussed on the national news, but I was a child at the time and lived on the opposite coast--3000 miles from the action!--so I didn't really start looking into this case until I became interested in this kind of crime. (Reading about--NOT committing!! :P ) What really baffles me is that Zodiac was never caught. Yes, I know these kinds of killings are very difficult to solve, but still...I don't think Zodiac was some kind of criminal genius who outwitted the police. I think he was a lot more like Jack the Ripper--more lucky than smart!

Now you can all start explaining to me just how wrong I am. :twisted: ;)

Aww, thank you, Trav. :oops: What a warm welcome--I knew I was gonna like this site! :mrgreen:

And I like that I made you laugh--not everyone, err, appreciates my sense of humor! I admit it's a little offbeat, and I can be moody, but I do have a lively sense of humor, I love to laugh and nothing pleases me more than making other people laugh too!! (I guess I don't need to add I was the class clown!)

So---given my mutual love of humor and--you guessed it--of cats, I could not resist this avatar. Glad you liked it too! :D
