Hopefully at least my posts can stay up as some form of timestamped record of how this has unfolded so far.
Essentially, this forum sits here, largely quietly, as an archive of the earliest discussions around the work that finally led up to solving the Z340, and some other stuff. I can remember when all that was still happening and, although it was competely over my head, I used to check in with the relevant threads to see this work growing, hoping it would finally lead to something, which of course it did. I don’t even think this forum is linked from anywhere now, is it? Certainly not from the hosting website run by Dave. I remember it also as a refreshing alternative to Tom’s forum which, to my experience, always felt too busy with distracting nonsense and too noisy, too. It is, therefore, a good place to add your work to the archive, but sadly no longer the place to come if you are seeking active engagement.
“This isn’t right! It’s not even wrong!”—Wolfgang Pauli (1900–1958)
You know, in Italian we say “we’re in the same boat” to mean that we’re going through the same situations and feelings.
That’s why I want to tell you to try to stay calm. The idea is yours—you had it, you shared it—and no one can take that away from you. It’s already part of your path and your value. There’s no need to stress or worry about losing it.
Instead, try to turn this energy into something concrete. You could make a video where you explain step by step what you want to do. You’ll see that it will help you share your idea more clearly and reach people in the right way.
I understand you more than you might think. I’m going through a similar moment too. I’m working on an idea that may sound crazy, but that I believe has solid grounds—that Zodiac and the Monster of Florence could be the same person. It’s not even my idea originally, but I chose to explore it and share it anyway.
In the end, though, I see it like this: if my analysis leads somewhere, great. If people listen, even better. If not… that’s okay too. It just means this was part of my path.
So really—take a breath, slow down, and trust that what you’re doing already has value, no matter how it turns out. 🙂
Thank you for this response, truly. I appreciate that.
I pretty much agree with everything you said here.
We are the same in that we both are interested in this cipher, and so I am glad to have you around for that reason.
I do not want to be rude to anyone. I just want this thing checked out, is all.
I’ve been thinking back to the Faycal proposed solution on here years ago. I think it was problematic, but he had good intentions and believed what he was proposing was correct. I guess that is the same story every time. He wanted to use his skills to help move the case forward, so I consider him a good guy.
I guess the reason I feel that mine is much different is that I tested all of the plausible alternatives. I didn’t add fancy steps on top of Zodiac’s instructions.
After it was debunked, it seems to have hurt future prospects on proposals, almost as if the door had been shut after that.
Adding this simply because I find it interesting, and it relates to the proposed solution.
By radian, he meant radial. Woops.
Also note the Eye of Diablo served as an air navigation station, fun fact.
Certainly been a looooooooong 4 months.
