rePWT It was PWT  Ive appended my reply to John Leach below I have to admit that my students and occasionally I have goaded him but quite frankly he writes rubbish and when challanged when he was a member of the ACS he responded with a tirade of highly offensive emails By following his posts re one can see what kind of mind is at work First Mauns book did not exist then someone reliable told him it did He bought it and he will analyse it to see if it is any good Now it is but John has made mistakes and hes not willing to admit it so although he knows he is posting nonsense he continues writing some hubris regarding his sources JohnLp  Blackjack is not a valid source Anyone can copy out from books by McCann et al but BJ adds his own POV  pages of it Remove it and he goes beserk I leave you all to it because as PWT said  all the people interested dont use WP  they have the books I worry that the whole project is becoming dominated by him and his chums Follow AAs edits  they are enthusiastic but contain many errors Change them and you are a sockpuppet or what ever it is  that from Leachy whos had a least a dozen As you can imagine at a Uni we have several severs and infinite possible user names We have to do this because whenever we use oner BJ has it block its your problem on WPCric but it is serious becaUause within the next two issues an ACS memberI am not a member is writing a damning critique It is a terrible shame because there are many superb entries Many of thise by BJ are flawed some are plain wrong Anyhow best of luck I thought he was on vacation incidentally or working You get the drift  PWT I was at Trent Bridge and I asked PWT to intervene to prevent the cricket site becoming corrupted with errors and Blackjacks efforts to move the contents of his site to WP We discussed it and contacted KW who agreed there was a chance Blackjacks personalised style of editing was perpetrating errors because he lacked the level of source we have How sad we have from BJ more hysterical self promotion I got a student to have a look and they think you have used at least six sock puppets yourself What makes all this so sad is that the edits you previously posted are fully available Quite frankly I dont know what your problem is John You sent highly offensive emails to PWT which we were looking at on Friday  you sent offensive emails to the editor of the Cricket Statistcian Neither I nor Peter have altered pre  cricket with other than the correct information If Rambling Mansimilar to your own Midnight Rambler Blackjacksee his blog wants to block these sites he is of course able to do it What he will be doing is to enable BlackjackJamesJJamesAlbert WM or whatever it ws and several others to become sole editor A man who has operated multiple sock puppets and is not regarded as an authority by Peter  Keith or any of the acknowledged expert who have publish books of great authority I know Mauns view of John but it is for him to put it forward It was PWT who edited and in response to JohnLp added some comments It is indicative of the thrall Blackjack has laid over half a dozen people that this project is allowing a string of entries riddled with errors that could easily be altered and referenced by those with the correct sources carry on because for some reason he is their man WP is about facts not opinions See  Cricket for the facts on all newspaper entries for that year Blackjack wants those blocked who spoil his game and I can by private email show anyone who wishes more evidence of his approach through his communications with people who disagree with him The John LeachMP wasd posted by a student but you will recall that Blackjack at one time posted his own biography It was more accurate  marginally I will now leave this alone completely as Mr Mauns book has sold a thousand copies which I guess are all the people interested in this project so Blackjacks work is thankfully falling on deaf eyes so to speak And it was PWT Dr TM Asquith
