TO THE GROUP ------ Correct me if I am wrong.

According to the time stamps that I see on Chuck's postings in the
thread in question, his first posting was at 12.42 where he introduced
the Zoom and Juan factor into a thread congratulating Burt Rutan's
accomplishment, and Chuck's congratulatory post to Burt and the gang
did not take place until 2.02 Pm..... one hour and twenty minutes
later.

Chuck.... Those time stamps speak for themselves and I do believe I
have my facts correct.

Your right the times are correct but so what. I did lots of e mails and some
postings that night and that's how they came out. I never realized that Rutan
would be insulted because I took a jab at zoom before I posted a congratulatory
post on RAH. I had already sent one to the Rutan home page. But you wouldn't
have known that would you? Me thinks you protest too much. I saw no protests
from you over the political debates between jaun and others .Nor any comments
about the threads about the cats .Nor any protests about many of the inane
discussions that appear on this group ..Only when I said something about zoom.
Once again I detect a bias sorry but that's how I feel.

Since I have no axe to grind in the continuing saga of you, Zoom,
and Juan, you will never find me putting my two cents into those
discussions.

Timber what you say is true but that didn't stop you from criticizing me and
putting your .02 cents worth in that discussion. How can that be when you say
you have no ax to grind. Sorry But I smell an agenda...


But Chuck the thread in question was not about you, Zoom, or Juan,
it was about Burt Rutan and his historical accomplishment that day,
and for whatever reason you just couldn't and wouldn't pass by the
opportunity to introduce the Zoom factor and blow your nose.

I'll explain the relevance once again. zoom and jaun have been bragging about
how important a job zoom had with the project.I was merely commenting about what
seems to be a bit of empty noise from zoom and jaun. So my comments were
relevent.Maybe you don't think so but, hey it's a free country.


And my question to you is why did you feel it necessary to detract from
Burt's accomplishments just so you could advance your own personal
agenda....??????

I don't think Burt gives a rat's patootie about what I wrote and besides I never
said anything that was detrimental about what they had accomplished.
That was all your perception. I still wonder who's got the agenda around here?


It's not as if you couldn't have started up a new thread with a
different subject line, like you have done dozens of times in the past.

I guess I could have but I never guessed that someone would take such offense
to such a minor thing. At this point let's just say we agree to disagree and
leave it at that. This discussion is pointless.

Have a nice day
