Stuff goes bump every now and then. It got fixed. Get over it.
Looks like you had RCU admin "repair" your trading history and here you are commenting about matters that pertain to honesty and integrity...?

So much for being "brilliant on the basics" that is core to so many high performing organizations. Such acceptance of failure as we see above is the battle cry of mediocrity.

Seriously now, what the **** are you talking about?

First off, I never questioned anyone's honesty or integrity, I merely pointed out (in my opinion) how silly this whole thread is.

Second off, I have never asked any admin to ever "repair" anything ... again, what are your talking about?

With such a sprint to trivialize, it's no wonder we get such mediocre performance out of AMA leadership and staff.

It's not about links, but rather this failure points to wider issues: basis for vendor selection, vendor oversight, Service Level Agreement's AMA negotiated/accepted, accountability, etc.

You can say that, but it doesn't make it true. I'd expect you to rush to their defense. Besides, even if this is the one case they went with a better known provider, even national providers have differing levels of service. What did AMA negotiate? Accept?

But I'll spot you that this may be one case where they went with a better known provider. Plenty of other examples from tax filings that show they're heavily supportive of barn businesses as part of the "Taj-Muncie" jobs program.

This whole thread is about the "trivial". Any attempt to seek deeper meaning here is beyond the absurd. You know that I agree that AMA leadership is far from perfect, but digging in on something like this is just plain silly and it weakens your arguments. The fact that so many have piled on to both sides of this makes it all that much more absurd.

Like I said, this whole thread is silly and pointless and while I am just as guilty for throwing in my own $0.02, my point was directed at everyone here (I guess that includes me too )!

Ditto here.
I don't know why I chose to comment on such a ridiculous argument.
Shame on me.
I guess I am just another victim of a good troll.

Well, the name of the company is New Target, Inc. With offices in Irvine, CA and Alexandria, VA. Not exactly low tech towns in a midwestern cornfield.

And they seem to be a pretty highly rated company.

Sounds to me like a great, big nothing-burger. Typical of the thread starter.

My mistake.. I had you confused with a different liar.
You're the guy who in January came to Echo's rescue in the "AMA MAR" thread.....after he obviously asked you behind the scenes to help rescue him from the endless string of lies he kept regurgitating. Then right afterwards you both tried to deny that any such arrangement was ever made.....
What makes this too funny is how Echo had accused the guys on the TRUE SIDE of "acting like HS girls" contacting each other behind the scenes when in fact it was you two who were caught doing exactly that......

Well who is the one questioning integrity here by calling me a "liar"?

Of course I made the post, but I never had any "behind the scenes" coordination or conversation with echo or anyone else. I simply do not have time for such childish games. You can choose to believe or not, it really doesn't matter to me.

You keep saying that echo and I collaborated behind the scenes. Nothing could be further from the truth. Echo and I had been going at with each other over some other topic and he accused me of being long winded calling my posts "essays", in post #183 of infamous the AMS Mar thread echo said: "Hey anymodeler, see if you can top that with one of your essays." He was goading me, not collaborating with me. My response with the dumpster fire gif and my comment about echo asking for my contribution was intended to be a snarky retort that was simultaneously my comment on how far off the rails the thread was and dig back at echo's accusation that all my posts are "essays".

You seem to want to hang some more significant conspiracy onto this. I have no idea why this is so important to you, but I guess that it is since it seems to have incited you into calling me "liar" on multiple occasions. To be honest, this reply is far more of an explanation than any of this deserves.

Also..
Since you obviously have such a thrilling life that most of us would find impossible to imagine....what are the chances that someone like you has nothing better to do than lurk this forum..just waiting for your invitation to chime in...?

Yup, that is exactly what I said. I only posted on that dumpster fire thread because echo publicly goaded me on in post 183.

Lets take a look at total post counts (at least as of right now): Yours: 20,388 vs. Mine: 516 Who would you say spends more of their life posting?

20,000 posts to 500
Obviously...you're much much more of a LURKER and not much of a contributor.


Anymodeler has got this wonderful, fascinating life...yet he lurks through 100 of posts in a thread that he thinks are garbage and jumps right in as soon he sees Echo light up the BAT SIGNAL.
Something doesn't add up.
Maybe your "life" is not quite as wonderful as you make it out to be... you obviously follow along every column inch of these threads that you want the rest of us to believe aren't worth your time.

Or maybe I just have enough impulse control to not bother chiming in when there is nothing more to be said. And while I will defend myself, I see no point in posting for the sole purpose of making a personal attack on someone else. Seriously, what is the point of that?

Guys, this has been fun, but I really do have better things to do.

I think some guys just need to go flying. That’s what I did today. Had a great time, hung out with some friends and a couple of them knowing that 40 years ago I took my first heli flight with a Schluter Heli Boy gifted one to me. I also flew a new to me Little Toni and my Align 700 Dominator and an electric sailplane. Had a great time and had a max altitude of 399’.
