general

dave you are kicking it so hard i feel like i need to come down like a hammer! you add to this brew sir, but i feel addisson's ghost is much too absent

a deed to you sir, and by his son

(d) it's not always the easiest spirit to channel, t, but

-- if yr refering to this article specifically, i think it's still in a draft state. there's some more to be worked out (see new comments below), & then i think it needs to be shortened a good deal (i've always had a weakness for writing too lengthy)

-- if yr speaking more generally, well, yeah, there's a core focus to the tub, and we've been spinning off on a more historical/symbological vibe - perhaps more so since i've joined? it's a work in progress & there's a lot of avenues to explore -- but i don't want to pull things too far from that core...

am i catching yr drift here, t? no? yes? maybe? i don't know?

I think yr diagram is pretty good, dave, and the text much clearer. However, I subtracted one fact regarding L'Enfant. There's no evidence he was a Freemason! However, doesn't we he wasn't a Gnome, or....

(d) I'm diggin' the idea - but I think L'Enfante's design preceded the Gnomes? (Didn't the Gnomes make their appearance around the time Reticent 27 showed up? Maybe I'm thinking of something else?) Perhaps we could introduce some precursery Gnomic (mushroom) activity via some of the earlier shipping connections that pre-dated AA & other factions? Some of that history's a bit fuzzy for me - if you just want to jump in and write, I can follow yr lead. I was fairly shit-faced when I wrote most of that new stuff, so, as always please don't hesitate to rework it...

(d) That owl observation is an ingenious Tub-ian spin on the "standard" read! I've tried to introduce some more spin in the intro. I think it's time to mangle the tale with some AA Truth...

ok - i'm completely ignorant of this whole thing, and i must say that it's very intriguing. at the same time, it's also easy to get lost (in tracing the pentagram).

so i did about 5 seconds of research.

and if i could suggest a structure for the article, why not start by presenting the 5 points of the pentagram by starting from the NE and moving clockwise, which, i believe, would read:

1. Dupont Circle
2. Logan Circle
3. Mr. Vernon
4. The White House
5. Washington Circle

then move to a description of the lines (which can be now be described as running, for example, from pt Dupont to pt Logan) along w/ their breaks.

then discuss the masonic connections and disconnections (and the implications) of the various points and breaks.

so anyways, that's a bunch of work for someone less ignorant than i. but it could be worth it.

at least for me, the ignorant sod who'll get to read the final product.

• ps - hope i'm not coming across as critical. that t'weren't my drunken intention at all. ya just gust jot my curious juices a-flowin', and now i wanna learn more...

• Hey man, that's what it's all about. Making it readable is never out of line. I might just tackle it when I get the urge...but not just yet. If you want to take a stab at it, why not? Anyone else for that matter. The next certainly needs shapin' up in some way or another...
