Kit,
No, I do
not, alas this seems like some kind of mental diarrhea. "

Hardly, lets just say that nothing I have read on this forum changes my view
of Bill Fink, of whom I might add I was more than willing to feel as you and
others appear to do, but, aquaintanceship changed all that to be affirmed by
Steve Miller.

Obviously, but clearly not in yours: we must agree to disagree methinks.

The reasoning of those who do
not agree with you is based on their knowledge
of someone that they respect
or know well.

Not the impression I get. Don't misunderstand me, I don't begrudge him what
he has achieved, nor do I denigrate the effort he put in to get Morgans
certified. It demonstrates the hatred Morgans engender amongst the "Smog 'n
Safety" Nazis if nothing else. Neither, it may surprise you to read, do I
begrudge him making money - all god's chillun got to eat. Most of the people
who appear to respect or know give the impression of only the briefest and
most superficial of aquaintances to be frank. For example: the tendering of
literature and Tee shirts et al: just good business in my book and reduces
the need for advertising ( a not inconsiderable expense, I might add).
Overheads can kill a small business stone dead: a niche one more than most.

"It would appear that they do not form a pro Fink group or a
pro Sharples
group" ???" as much as for some strange reason you would expect to
impugn
someone and that none would disagree with you."???

A little sentence reconstruction is required here to illustrate your meaning
a little more clearly. Perhaps being British denies me the privelege of
illucidating the subtleties inherent in what you've written. Doesn't read
like English Grammer to me.

" have no idea with whom you wish to curry favor. Is there some way in
which
we may be of service?"
***
Since currying of favour is the last thing on my mind (and was for that
matter apart from seeing if "brown-nosing" could be induced(confirmed!)
under the right circumstances, any services you may feel compelled to offer
will have to be respectfully declined.

I will say one thing in closing out, the differences between two peoples are
clearly illustrated. Most Englishmen would understand where I'm coming from
with little difficulty. They would either say I'm " talking rubbish" or
"couldn't agree more" and that would have been that. Whereas most of the
posts demonstrate that the Americans either don't "get it" or don't want to
and take offence where none is intended. Too Bad. Willie excepted of
course, didn't have to explain anything to him!
Movin' on again!
