Hi Cat,
Glad your grandson liked the rocks. I got those from near Honolulu and shipped them home in one of those boxes the post office sells - flat price no matter how much it weighs. They lost a little money that time !
Best,
Andy

" If this speaker came from Linda Leach, I couldn't tell you - like I said, I collected a lot of stuff from many sources, as you can imagine."
What kind of crap statement is that? Of course you got it directly from us. I watched George hand it over to you. I heard him tell you to take good care of it... that it meant something to him since he and Dad built it. NOW you say you can't remember where you got it? WHO else might have something that Townsend Brown himself had built?....being so passive about that and then covering with the statement " I couldn't tell you..." brings up all kinds of questions. Why couldn't you tell them it was directly from us? I am disappointed in you Andrew but I still hold to the belief that you have someone else here behind your actions.
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

I know Fruitbat, but the real world question is Do You Really Know Who FB is??
As for Chris Knight I do not require such prejudicial advice.

A very visible example of what I am complaining about is Mikado's attitude towards me (expressed elsewhere hereabouts) when I withdrew from participating here shortly after the death of my cat. He accused me of "cowardice" when I didn;t botehr replying to one of the many vitriolic posts directed my way, when it was nothing of the sort. Non psychopaths will understand that when a much loved pet dies, (particularly one that has managed to establish a decent quality of communication with his staff,) a properly functioning human will feel a strong sense of loss and grief. In my case I needed to balance the abrupt reduction in the good and positive side of my life by swiftly eliminating some of the negative and evil experiences in my life. Surely no sane man or woman could see my experience with this site as being on the positive and good side of things?

If you think differently, then why don't you use your token access and maybe PM Linda and set her straight? Or you could of course publish what you think, but be sure to stick to the truth and not get TOO inventive, because you know I'll not tolerate "slander".
Absolutely correct. But I know him better than I know you. I would guess that we have talked about many different subjects over the past six months for about 30 hours on the phone. Now, would that make your statement a bit narcissistic or a judgement without knowing all the facts?Fruitbat wrote:I, of course know these people here don't know who you are, wags.

bye for now.

I'll bet that if you sat down and talked / though about it, you'd find the whole "us guys / you guys" way of thinking is an artificial construct created to keep you from comparing notes. Sure, in real life you may not be best buddies, and go out for a beer on the weekends, but that has nothing to do with the two forums. The purpose is to keep one side believing that they are part of something important - in this case a secret organization trying to make the world a better place / a world trying to keep TTBs research down, while at the same time strengthening that ideal by creating an artificial enemy, or "them," which in this case is Hut B / the Black Sub. I would like to believe that myself, being a fairly strong idealist myself. Old trick.
If you look at the history of the two forums, or "huts," as long as someone was useful to Linda Leach and her mission of getting TTBs work recognized, then they were in "Hut A," but as soon as someone began questioning something she said, then they would be demonized, and then either a) disappear quietly, or b) end up in "Hut B."
Linda Leach hasn't had any issues with me for the last three years we haven't spoken, but now that I want to put the record straight on a number of issues, and speak the truth, I am immediately demonized. I have never done or said anything to harm her or her family, but that is her only response. She once told me that she would use absolutely any means to get her fathers work recognized, with or without me. Pretty powerful statement.
Oh, if anyone is wondering, Linda Leach (Brown) is T. Townsend Brown's daughter. Not sure where that challenge came from, but I can vouch for her.
Anyhow, if you don't remember, you can go back and look at the "war" Mikado and I had going for a number of years. Most of the time I really didn't get into it, to be honest. Linda Leach and I would make up stories about what I and she were doing just to push his buttons. A couple of funny ones you might remember:
1) Dolphin Jump Key - it's down in Florida. I've never been there, but I see it is up for sale for a price a bit out of my range. We told everyone I was on some secret research exploration trip from out of a port near there. The original boat from the movie, African Queen," is nearby there, and my daughter and I took photos of the boat to "prove" I was there when we were down in Florida for the trip below. I supposedly moved there three years ago when I "disappeared," and Linda Leach has been pushing that story since then.
2) Hogs Island - my family went down on a Bahamas cruise a couple of years ago, and went to the Townsend Brown bakery in Nassau (a black fellow, by the way, in no way connected to TTB per the rumor). We saw Hog's Island, which is just off of Nassau, from a distance. It's actually called Paradise Island now and a large resort complex is there (Atlantis resort). We didn't want to spend umpteen dollars to spend the day at their water park, so we toured around the island with another family. The photos to "prove" we were down there "doing research" or whatever went up on the forum.
Just all made up.
You'd think I'd have had better things to so with my time ! My wife and I would go up to Yucca Valley and go out to Sizzler Steakhouse with Linda and George Leach. We'd have a good meal and trash talk Mikado and Hut B. George, who is a really great guy by the way, would have a bemused smile on his face. I don't know what he was thinking about all of it, but Linda Leach occasionally quoted him saying that, "if no one cared about your father's work when he was alive, why would they care about it now ?" That's a paraphrase, but pretty close.
I've had the opportunity to compare notes with many of the people on the two forums, and have apologized to most of you. I apologize to both forums as well, in that had I not been the "keeper of the flame" for so many years then many of you would not have gotten dragged into this mess. Some of TTBs "research" may be important, but Sheeesh !
Best,
Andy
