1- You know exactly what the context of the Heinlen quote was, and what I meant-- that it is wrong to make unwarranted assumptions. Period. In this case, I was referring to the assumptions Ragozin makes tying independent parts of the track, events, and time periods together, AS YOU KNOW. Everything else is game playing, which I haven't got the time or inclination for, and which got some of your previous posts deleted, and will get more deleted.

2- I don't care whether you believe me. If you believe nothing else, believe that. And whether you believe the intent or not, in point of fact there was nothing in that post BUT wisecracks. I took other posts down for lack of significant (to me) content, because they were cluttering up the board and distracting everyone away from important issues (as I said in my post outlining the new board policy), and eating up my time on nonsense.

3- Kraven's comment, while rude, was on point-- I have left up lots of comments that were rude to me (some of which were yours) if they were on point. Friedman did pull that figure out of his ass, which is why after taking great pains to try and explain it he did the turtle imitation.

For the record, "Kraven" knows at least as much about figure making as you do.

4-I told you before-- knock yourself out. I will deal with them as I see fit, but any ON-POINT posts will be left up, at least the parts with content (as opposed to games and wisecracks), and at least (as I said) until it degenerates into a time consuming back and forth. You will be treated like anyone else on this board, where, since it's mine, I AM king of the jungle. And since you bring it up, in this context we are not equals, and I've got the resume (65 SW etc.) and customer base to prove it. You're a guy posting on my board.

Speaking of ducking serious challenges (yeah, I'm famous for that), say hello to your new friends for me, the ones who understand your frustration.
