[edit] Gerrard crime family

You know, call me skeptical, but I find it strange that such a notorious mob boss as "Vittorio Gerrard" -- whom I've never heard of -- doesn't generate a single Google hit. Mind explaining this odd discrepancy? --Calton | Talk 00:15, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I hope you get this message. I am writing a book about the subject. Because it is such a 'small' family and outside of New York and Chicago, it has not got the attention that perhaps it should. I found the subject rather interesting and so I created a page about it. The problem with uncovering information on this subject is that it is not 'notorious'. I have had a great struggle finding information on this, and other 'smaller scale' crime organizations. I hope you find the subject as interesting as I do! If you have any questions or any further information on this subject please send it my way!

Thanks

You're asking me to believe an entire "crime family", which you call one of the most influential crime families involved in organized crime in Florida has somehow managed to avoid any attention whatsoever from gangland writers and websites -- including Crime Library? And how did they manage to become one of the most influential crime families involved in organized crime in Florida and not "notorious"? Pull the other one. --Calton | Talk 00:51, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

You would, indeed, be correct on my overstatement in the first sentence. As I have just made the page I have yet to edit it thoroughly and I thank you for pointing that out to me. I guess they are not as influential as they are interesting. I would, of course, be obliged to change the wording of the introduction. Did you read the whole page or just the first bit? I get the impression you just assumed it was a hoax without coming into it with an open mind, as you state: 'pull the other one'. If you would like to improve the page or discuss the topic then that’s great! If you only care to make comments you find ‘clever’ to insult... why I am lost for words. I find that very unprofessional.

Thanks

I get the impression you just assumed it was a hoax without coming into it with an open mind Like my gym teacher used to say, "Never assume, it makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'."

So far I've seen projection, I've seen misdirection, I've seen focus on irrelevancies, and back-peddling when confronted with a self-contradiction: what I haven't seen is an actual answer to my questions, nor a single source -- or even shred of proof -- that you didn't make up the entire thing. Please don't waste everyone's time here

why I am lost for words. I can only wish.

I find that very unprofessional. Good thing I'm not being paid for this, then.

So, to use the Americanism, let's cut to the chase: prove this is real. Full stop. --Calton | Talk 01:06, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
