I normally ignore Mr Willie, and this is a good reason why.
CDR Russ Bartlett is the current Blue Angel Boss. Capt John Pruitt is the currnet CO of NAS Pensacola. Fine job of reading an editing. JD "Otis Willie" wrote in message ...

Fine job of reading an editing. what ever gave you the impression that Phil Coleman, aka Otis Willie and various other sock puppets, ever reads and/or edits the stuff he picks off the web and spams to all the military-related news groups? In fact, it was either the AP, or the CHINFO, or local Navy PIO who screwed up the Navy's press release. -- OJ III [Email sent to Yahoo address is burned before reading.

OJ
I agree 100% That was the brunt of my comment. The sock puppet only rips articles off and never checks things out. The only reason I gave it the time of the day is a regular here commented on it and it showed up through my ""wille" filter I see AP, UP, NBC.... screw ups all the time. I am amazed it came from a Navy press release as when they are about the Blue Angels, they normally go through the BA PR Officer to CNET and or CNATRA and are accurate. Although the choosing of the BOSS is not a internal Blue Angel process, the press release would have gone though the chain first. The other part I find funny that US Govt releases are not governed completely by Copyright Law and are free to reprint "for free" Jake "Ogden Johnson III" wrote in message ...

AP wouldn't know/check names provided in a Navy release, so someone/two/three/four/howevermany USN type(s) screwed up. The other part I find funny that US Govt releases are not governed completely by Copyright Law and are free to reprint "for free" Canned sig. I don't know when/why Phil stopped posting entire articles - if he was called on it by one of the newspapers/wire services/whomever or what - but he uses that on every one of his spams, even if it isn't appropriate for government originated releases. However, in this case, the AP article almost certainly was copyrighted - even if the only difference between it and the press release was changing the headline and byline. ;- -- OJ III [Email sent to Yahoo address is burned before reading.
