("Union Thug" wrote ...stuff)

OK, I DO NOT like doing this point-by-point stuff, but I sees a need.

Actually you were perpetuating the use of the term "cronies". I am
only a part timer here but I have noticed definite cronyism by a few
members of this list. Why would you argue on someone elses behalf ?
Maybe we could make sure that our posts have some relevance to a
peticular thread.

1. I'm not sure what cronyism is suppose to even mean, here? It appears to
be a (coded language) slam. Yes, I'm no stranger to dense.

2. I WAS NOT arguing Jay's point.

3. I was simply telling Larry that his RAP zinger, "your little circle of
cronies" didn't hold true, given the fact that Jay has a pretty big circle
of (what?) ...cronies.

4. The Jay List was an explanation of just how wide a circle Jay has.

I think that having a large circle of cronies doesnt necessarily ad any
weight to a persons post.

1. This is where I can appreciate your point, Jay could be Neil Armstrong,
but if he's off in left field on something ...he's off in left field, Neil
Armstrong credentials notwithstanding.

2. LD was using the "C" word (and the word "little") as a slam, and a box.

3. I was merely presenting a very specific rebuff to LD about his (create
an unchallenged box and place your opponent into it) tactic.

There are many people on this list with a large following of cronies whose
posts are not any more important than anyone elses.

You brought "important" to the picnic. My issue with LD was over "little
circle" and "big circle". I felt he was picking up speed, running downhill
if you will, so I was trying to help him out - slow him up a bit.

Cronies are kinda cool, but for the sake of accuracy or relivance, they
dont do much. As for the XYZ reasons, alot of this stuff wouldnt really
add to the crony list and I dont understand why you brought it up.

Again, accuracy or relevance to topic was not my concern when I posted. I
didn't appreciate LD's tactic or the negative inference in his word choice.
Neither of which, btw, had anything to do with whether Jay was off in left
field or not. That's it in a nutshell.

Whats more, there are many people on this list (I dont know if LD is one of
them G ) who have some pretty impresive aviation credentials so it is
probably best not to make lists or we could be here a long time ,).

That's ok, I've got time. That's why I participate in these groups, to get
to know people WITH impressive aviation credentials.

Here again Montie, I dont understand why you chose not to share your
opinions and just argue on someone elses behalf.

1. I'm on solid ground arguing what I posted about, less solid ground
debating engineering matters.

2. Again, I was arguing on my behalf, about process. Jay was simply
....wait for it ...a prop.

Why you said yes ..........To what ?

Yes to committing an entire Saturday to their event. I was hiding behind
abused kids, figured you wouldn't come after me there. :-)

No to working @ NWA. Yes to living in the Twin Cities (for three more weeks,
anyway).
