Hey Terminus,

I saw on TV last night that the average person in Denmark eats 29.5 pounds of candy per year. That's more than any other country. Does that sound right?

Oh, sorry. That was OT. I'll try again.

No it wasn't. I'm concerned that if I claim I know what you mean I'll get your usual bullshit about "ducking and weaving" or "distorting" the things you say.

Indeed, it is hard for you to take people out of context or distort what they are saying when they wont play along with you.

If you're waiting for me to leap to the defence of the over-paid, under-worked, knuckle-dragging clotheshorses that constitute the "elite" of European footballery, you'd better not hold your breath, Nik![:D]

Yeah, I thought you'd say that you prissy-foot fanboy. [:D]

Again. State directly your claim. You say I "duck and weave" yet you are unwilling to dispense with vagueness, dissembling, or diversionary tactics. The question put to you is straightforward and all that is required for you to maintain some credibility is to answer it in a straightforward manner, if you dare.

You have attributed Japanese losses to fatigue induced by an 1100 mile trip. The distance from Rabaul to Lunga is 565 miles. Is it your contention that fatigue killed a substantial number of Japanese pilots after they withdrew from combat at Lunga and were en route returning to Rabaul?

I made no claim. I reitterated what Richard Frank concluded long ago. You were the one making a claim involving stressed out US pilots who couldn't get their winks.

Something on the History Channel - maybe Modern Marvels - they did a thing on the manufacture of various snack foods and candies.

In fact, better not hold your breath at all. Your poor excuse for a parody of a joke of a failed attempt at a brain needs all the oxygen it can get!

Again, I note that the question has been put to you directly, now, three times. And yet you more than anyone else seem unwilling to state clearly what you mean. Who is the one here that "ducks and weaves?" Who is the one here who evades questions?

You have accused me several times of distorting your claims. So if you have any honor you will state your claims plainly so that you may be held accountable for them, rather than leaving yourself "evasion room" to suggest that your position has been distorted.

Oh dear, oh dear, relying on the History Channel for our statistics, are we? Tsk, tsk...

Honestly, I have no idea. We eat too much of everything that's bad for us, but what "developed" country doesn't?

I'm not evading the question. I see no reason to restate what has already been made very clearly. I'm sorry it frustrates you that i wont play along with your game. I know how much you love to try to pick apart people's text.

Hmm you wish me to be held accountable, yet you feel no need to be held accountable for the stuff you sprout. You also appear to not feel the need to be held accountable when you lie through your teeth, such as when you stated that I was claiming that the carrier F4F's received a drubbing. I'm still waiting for you to quote the text in this thread where i wrote that.

LoL....lets see you try it. You will have to fly near daily missions of a total length of 1000+ miles for hours on end
lol....you must be suffering from Malaria to have copped that interpretation out of my text.

Hmm. Shall we call this the "Nikademus Weave?"

It seems that Sir Robin bravely ran away. Apt avatar though.
