It's as though posts from half a dozen different threads had been chopped and pasted together - any clarity available ?

As far as I can make out :

1. Booker is posting extracts of a study ? Title = Sacred Journeys ? and the author is Downton ?

2. Booker hasn't given any details (ISBN, publishing date etc) nor explained why he/she is posting random excerpts ?

3. Gerry thinks that Booker's presence, (along with other stuff) means that the ex premie community needs Gerry to save us from the failings of the F8 moderators ?

4. Jean Michel thinks that Booker is engaged in some cathartic process and his posting of odd bits of an unidentified work should be tolerated ?

How am I doing - it's a bit like a join the dots picture - as a kid I always made an elephant out of a giraffe so I'm not optimistic ?
