John, I am not talking about my main presentation where one of your dumb f buddies called in bomb threats and pulled the fire alarm - all that did was give me even more attention, cut Hanns Hass' presentation way down, and actually extend mine, nor about the gear session I held for anyone who wanted to attend, but about the party you all held at the hotel before we all had dinner together where we all had ample time and friendly conditions under which to discuss any of thes items. The truth is that I did not need to, Chirs Hellas and others did the explaining ( not all Brits are comited strokes). My presentation was as the BASAC wanted, and was well done. You guys put together something like that and then cirticize me. The Secret Service people are just friends hwo happend to be there, nothing to do with me. I do not need protection, people need protection from me. It takes a lot more than bomb threats to stop me from showing the obvious, no matter how bad it makes all of you look.
