Raz, I have to tell you, I just re-read your post, and it has to stand as one of the greatest examples of factual innacuracy and outright stupidity I have ever seen.

1-- Jimbo identified himself in the byline of his FIRST post on the Rag board. Go check. So that business about him trying to put one over is nonsense. And what the hell would be the point, anyway?

2-- His "outrage" was at the personal attacks at me. As far as I know, neither he nor anyone else has expressed an opinion one way or another on my suit (nobody has any knowledge of the facts, although that certainly didn't stop you and the other morons). Go check. There have been neither "words of support" nor negative comments about those I am suing. Not even from me.

3-- "What kind of lock-step mentality exists here"? That's a joke, right? Very funny. "The axe does seem to fall more swiftly, completely, and menacingly here than the simple guillotine over there". Mel Brooks has nothing on you-- Friedman has deleted at least 10 times the number of posts I have. Posts like yours here have had no chance to draw breath.

4-- "You guys are around because I am a better person than you". Raz, note the use of the second person. Even if you didn't have the sentence that preceded it (where I addressed him by name), you should have been able to get that the comment was directed at Friedman-- he knows what I'm talking about, as I made clear. Get it?

5-- Holy, smoke, Raz. I have not only talked about my years at Ragozin's many times here, I talked about them at some length at the Expo-- watch the damn DVD. On the other hand, TO THIS DAY the Ragozin weekly page in the Thoroughbred Times (another example of them not marketing, by the way) is accompanied by a box. It referred to Ragzoin as "the father of speed figures)-- who do you think gave them that idea?-- until I pointed the editors towards the Donaldson book. Now it calls Ragozin the MODERN father of speed figures (sort of like slightly pregnant).

Donaldson's book, which came out in the early 1930s, covers virtually everything Ragzoin took credit for in his book and everywhere else he could-- AND DONALDSON'S IS JUST ONE BOOK. So who is taking false credit?

You owe several apologies here, some to Jim. But I'm not holding my breath.
