Of course what really drives your opposition to my hypothesis as to why Mr Oswald might send this heavy brown paper bag to himself at a fake address is that such would require Mr Oswald to have foreknowledge of the motorcade route well before your cherished bedtime story says he had

And you just keep repeating that, in your very inexpert opinion, a random hoaxer could have known to write the name and address in a way that even you have to admit looks like Mr Oswald's handwriting. Care to explain how your imaginary random hoaxer would have known to do this?

How would it show foreknowledge of the motorcade route?

Odd that you should ask, Mr Smith. Why, only a few short days ago you had no difficulty in seeing the linkage------------you criticized my hypothesis on the basis that Mr Oswald would not have had enough foreknowledge of the motorcade route to make the experiment with the Nixie parcel viable:

If he learns on Monday or Tuesday that JFK is passing the building, then there would be a remote possibility he considered mailing the bag there instead of transporting it himself but there would be no guarantee that it would arrive by Friday.  And why do a test run to a different address with so little time?

As I have several times gently pointed out, this is the real reason you have tried (unconvincingly) to write the Nixie parcel off as a random hoax: evidence of nefarious intent on Mr Oswald's part is fine, but only so long as the timing does not threaten the Lone Nut scenario.

A Mr Oswald sending himself a heavy brown paper bag, but doing so in a way that suggests game-playing with the postal authorities, would suggest a Mr Oswald making plans for something clandestine that would involve the use of a heavy brown paper bag. That this would require more lead-in time than you are comfortable with is a problem for you, not me.

By the way, you dodged my question about how a random hoaxer could have known to write the name and address in a way that even you have to admit looks like Mr Oswald's handwriting. Still trying to figure this little conundrum out, eh?

Try to focus instead of rambling on.  Here is the question again:  How would this package show foreknowledge of the motorcade route?

You mean like that map of DP they found at Ozzie's pad, dad?

A map that has an 'X' marking the TSBD? He did that when he went to find a job there.
If you can produce a link showing this map I would like to see it.

Asks the man who dismissed my hypothesis on the basis that it would show too much foreknowledge of the motorcade route

Still no explanation of how a random hoaxer could have known to write the name and address in a way that even you have to admit looks like Mr Oswald's handwriting? Your inability to focus on this is noted, Mr Smith!  Thumb1:

I stand corrected, sir.  Still un-tying the conspiratorial knots from my wee mind, which is constantly getting much mo' wee-er, uh.  Older researchers understand the 'wee-er' part........ or do they?
