IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN SOMETHING??[]

No attempt at manipulation, but apparently another instance of not agreeing with something stated as being a fact early in the Ed Kazmirski's Taurus thread. Even Jim Kimbro, (who is not on anyone's side as far as I know...maybe even Cees's), stated Ed crashed his 1961 entry, Jim said "...This report coupled with the fact that the modified Taurus he flew at the 1961 Nats was destroyed..."

I was under the impression that everyone, (even Cees), agreed Ed's 1961 Taurus entry was the so-called FLOP mentioned above, but upon closer examination I see Cees did not accept that Ed flew that plane as stated by PIMMNZ in post 131 on page 6. The picture above was said to have been taken at the 1961 NATS, and most of us took him at face value when he said it came from NATS coverage of 1961. Does Cees believe Ed crashed his Oldest Taurus at the 1961 NATS? If not, what did he crash in 1961? Was the report quoted by Jim wrong as well...maybe Ed didn't crash.

The FLOP has been described by Cees an "not important...", but everything needs to be accounted for. What does Cees believe about the plane in the picture? Do you even think it's Ed's plane? Was the magazine account mentioned in post 131 page 6 of "EK Taurus" wrong? I don't know, but we have to take into account ALL the evidence; not just the evidence that supports our theory.

I think we make our mistake when we get "sucked into", (like I just did), responding to outrageous claims that are made rather than ignoring them. I don't know about the rest of you, but I still have the "notify me when someone replies" set to "yes", a definite "rubbernecking trainwreck" problem as was mentioned earlier. It's best to not respond...it doesn't "pay" to respond, but we can't help but wonder about what is coming next from the man who "knows all things" about the Taurus. I think most of the nearly 21,000 hits come from people wanting to see "what's next" from Cees whether or not it corresponds to the evidence.

Cees, you have become so publically invested in your own theory that you can't afford to change any of it...even if you wanted to. The theory becomes more important than any evidence presented.

Before you invite me to leave as well, let me do so on my own.
