Thank you kindly. But honestly, for every 1 thing I know there's 1000+ things I lack a clue on, I'm still learning and not without my own faults and biases. But I have to really give credit to Antiliar, I gave all this up in 05 or so and 'just as I thought I was out, he pulled me back in' around 2011, brought me up to speed on all the new resources available that weren't half a decade prior. Within months I was traveling across the country to archive centers and we began collaborating on projects, many still ongoing since we both have lives.
I have an ever-evolving look on this. I'm currently learning new shit right now about New York that just makes me do the occasional "inventory" where I go over what I think I know. For instance, you could have read that Luciano got the nickname Lucky from surviving the hit, it's been published in enough sources so you might not think to check it. I kinda try and check everything just to see how sturdy the infrastructure of my beliefs are and I can correct mistakes. Luckily, everything that gets published is checked, often in triplicate. And the article Antiliar and I published in 2014 together, I haven't found any more new details that discount anything we wrote. There's more that we've learned and could have included but the purpose of the article was for receiving credit before someone else published Di Gaetano-Schiro which I found first(!) (credit where credit is due). It's essentally a 300 page book condensed down to 70 pages (with 30 pages of citations and sources). And that is arguably only half of the story. There's another half which is still a work in progress but we won't disappoint. Can't really go into any other details beyond that.
