GEEZE. I am a dope. I am a dope. I am a dope.

I go take the dog for a walk and come back and there are 6 e-mails telling me so. I feel like the guy that hears the first line of a joke and blurts out the punch line.

Here I was, thinking all day long that you had some point to your question. I just never put the title of the thread with it. I could not quite figure out why you were bringing Horrace into it.

Now, if I am wrong, you tell me. I did not go research the facts, but, this is the picture given to me by the e-mails.

It was your point that 'My Candidate' was at some sanctioned event. Either during or after, no one seems sure, a plane was flown. He posted some overly glowing report of some huge plane that was flown by a Russian. I understand it was multi engined, weighed 6000 pounds and had a 44 ft wingspan. The point being it was clearly over the Safety Code weight limit.

You then posted asking what Horrace did about that.

He posted something about the inalienable rights of man, the sanctity of God, and individual property rights.

You posted back that he, as a prespective AMA EVP should have stopped the flight.

He posted back something about you belonging to a conspiracy trying to take the AMA to China. or something along those lines.

You then posted that he should have:

a. confronted the CD

b. baring corrective action by the CD, he should have impounded the Tx for the plane.

c. if that didn't work, he should have thrown his body in front of it, making take-off impossible.

d. brandished an unloaded pistol in an effort to stop the flight

Horrace continued his posts suggesting you were something less than a nice guy.

You in turn posted something about 'it takes one to know one' or something along those lines.

Your point all the time being that as a prospective elected AMA official he should have taken action.

Whewwwwwweeeeee!!!!

Then I come along playing straight man, and give you the correct answer that he should have given you in first place.

I'm truly sorry Bill, and this is the truth, it never occured to me that you were trying to make a political thread out of this, until one of the e-mails pointed out the name of the thread.

I hope this helps you to make your point. I'm sorry I blew the punch line, though.
