Dixie7777, Just to clear up some mistaken assumptions since you keep bringing it up (I'm not flaming you—merely explaining a point, involving me, upon which you keep hammering):
1. “i still believe that the fbna gang and si are a bit too chummy for what should be an arms length relationship. ie, social gatherings, pictures with b dryer?”
Once again, there is no "fbna gang" at this social gathering to which you refer. Yes, you are right that an arms length relationship is good—and that's what it is. The event you refer to was a one-time affair that happened nearly a year ago (July 13, 1997). That's it. Period. Beer and sandwiches hardly make a conspiracy.
2. “and Bill ulrich of magneticdiary fame who apparently has an intimate knowledge of SI goings on.”
No, I don't have any more knowledge than anybody else who reads the public threads. Neither Brad, nor Jill, nor Jeff Dryer contact me about anything. They run their business—I run mine.
If you have questions about it, it would be much more beneficial to the thread if you simply PM me and ask, because it's not relevant to MTEI. If you don't like my answers, then verify them with the SI staff. Easy.
Can this get "put to bed" now? Once again, I'm not flaming you—I'm merely explaining that there's a simple way to deal with this without wasting the thread's time if you so choose.
