by the way, I'm about to call in a high priest who's got 20 years on me and ask him to make sure to touch significantly on the points of the lesson in the manual rather than mention them in passing and dwelling on his favorite Church historical figure, Orrin Porter Rockwell. How do you think I should approach it?

Well for starters you should explain to him why the First Assistant to the Secretary of the Ward Librarian has summoned him to a meeting...

Oh well, I suppose I should revisit some of my investigations from

I presented at the 1982 Ogden MHA annual meeting.

The three lower charts are Craig Criddle's authorship attribution data,
(from Mormonleaks.com) combined in various ways.

Here's a larger version of the same chart:

As you'll see, between Alma 45 and Alma 63, I concluded that four
chapters did not originate with Solomon Spalding: 54, 60, 61, 63.

Do other investigators see anything in those four chapters which
stands out, as being different from 45-63 generally speaking?

Well, I hope that's what your 11,950 posts have been. I'd hate to think a "rational" being could genuinely "think" that crap.
