4.14.09 - Thank you from Lyman Emery
Friends of the Society for Linian Studies,
I wanted to personally thank those who attended the opening of “The Cognomi Theory of the Antarctic Interior” this past Saturday. It was truly encouraging seeing so many of you there and knowing that all of our hard work was not in vain.

I must also apologize for the unfortunate incident involving the Benjamin Smyth Antarctic Institute, which left such a terrible mark on an otherwise enjoyable evening. Despite their aggressive attempts to intimidate the Society and demean our work, our resolve has only been strengthened.

I regret that I was unable to complete my lecture, but I hope you’ll understand that the situation required my immediate attention.

Moving forward, the Society is planning another event to occur within the coming months, where I will offer a more complete presentation.

Again, thank you for your support in the face of this contemptible opposition.

Regards,
Lyman Emery

05.28.08 - Los Angeles venue secured for re-opening of The Cognomi Theory
After a long search the Society is pleased to announce that we have found a highly suitable location for the re-opening of The Cognomi Theory of the Antarctic Interior.

3.21.08 - Thanks to all who attended the premier of The Cognomi Theory of the Antarctic Interior at San Diego State University. Unfortunately, pressure from the Benjamin Smyth Institute and an unfortunate incidence of vandalism forced the exhibit to come down after only a day. The decision to end the exhibit was made with great difficulty, and we apologize to those who wished to view the exhibit and were unable to do so. We hope you will attend the reopening of the exhibit in Los Angeles. In order to avoid further incidents of sabotage, the date and location of the exhibit will be reserved for subscribers only. To join the mailing list, please send a request to info@liniansociety.org. We regret that we have been forced to resort to this screening process and appreciate your understanding.
