That's not entirely correct Bill... I for one did not express any doubt as
to his accomplishment of the trip since his return. [Although I did express
doubt as to it's validity when presented with Bob's lack of planning prior
to departure] My only concern was as to the type and quality of his
report.... it provided only sketchy detail and relative descriptions...
insufficient to present itself as irrefutable proof. Photos are not valid
since most of us have no idea of the area. All my efforts to get Bob to stem
the many holes was rebuffed. When that proved ineffective to dislodge me
from what was obviously a task appointed.. he resorted to ad hominem attacks
and finally to claiming victory because I would not establish contact with
him off line. It has descended into a comical line dance with Bob
sidestepping as quickly as the tempo.
