Most anyone who knows me they knows I am never going to forget the day I saw the special on tv about Elizabeth Short. Nor will I ever forget Beth. I guess only other "Dahlia-Philes" can understand it. Also it's pretty well known that I recently asked to be removed from moderating and being a member of BethShort.com A site that has some really wonderful people that I hope to be friends with for life. But the site is woefully neglected and people have been abused for far too long. Grown ups that could learn maturity from my children. I had little power as I watched some of the most intelligent people I've ever encountered driven off by the most unpleasant people on the face of the planet. Not long ago I brought a link to a new site to our message board. I was astounded at how quickly it grew and improved. Pictures I'd never seen and quotes I've never read. When I left BethShort.com I intended to try to shake off the whole thing, but I wandered onto that new site. TheBlackDahliainHollywood.com. I was shocked to see the amount of work that was done since I'd last visited and the fledgling message board I'd joined there months ago is awesome. It's well moderated and the Admins there are on top of everything. I mentioned that a chat room would be cool, but we'd never expected much because on the old one and anyone who had access to GOOD info, that we could use, was either chased away or wouldn't set foot on there in the first place.
Tonight we chatted with Steve Hodel for hours. Time flew by and I got to do something I haven't been able to do in a LOOOOONG time. Express my opinions. I remain open to any and all ideas, but it's nice to be able to ask questions and politely disagree with other opinions. I don't have a solid theory in my head, but I collect info that makes sense to me. To NOT be open to differing opinions would be stupid. I'm not stupid.
Great night! Thanks everyone :)

Ok, you've had your little chat. Now make with the infotainment. Who killed the Black Dahlia?
I believe the transcript will be posted on BDiH. You'll be pleased to see that I represented you. I did have questions of my own, though.
Monica, I'm sure you did. But, did I or did I not ask you not to quit your day job, back in the day? Do you recall that? It seems you have taken my advice to heart and not done so. This is all for the good, IMHO.
I dare suggest your further need for some intermediate transitional activity is why you're lagging around the facile BDiH forum but just like Tim Finnegan's ill-fated visit to old pal Mike Malloy's message board. Hilarious, but will be all too Short, as it were. You knew the Karen, eh?
Poor old Tommy must have had a stroke. But Malloy put me up to the whole thing and he still owes me fifty bucks. Like Malloy's site, all those badges and ranks will go to someones head and soon it's JAWS all over again. While here you rule all you survey, as they say. The green grass of your own home page. Just remember old habits die hard, but they die fast.

You protested when I suggested that we agree to disagree, and I have differing opinions on the case. But to succeed where others have failed is so sweet. My blog isn't a Beth Short blog, it's a "What has Briar's panties in a twist today" blog. I haven't found the perfect theory for me, but I know what sounds right to me according to MY research and it's come from many different people, even one or two things I figured out on my own. ;)
And what, pray tell, have YOU managed to figure out on YOUR own?
Wait for my book :P
I kid..
I'm still waiting for a transcript.
So am I. They are busy over there. The site is booming.
What can I say, Monica? Don't quit your day job.
