Thomas Graves Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) If that's the case, then I must fit in very well here indeed.No one else here accuses people of being "paranoid" simply because they disagree with you. And those that you accuse are among the many who gladly accept new information without sarcasm, condescension, or accusations of mental illness. Dear Tom, Does "the many" include DiEugenio, Prudhomme, Barto, LeDoux, Healey, Parker, and yourself, for example? Edit: Gladly accepting new information without reacting with sarcasm or condescension? Or by "new information" do you really mean "new information that doesn't conflict with my / our currently-held beliefs or theories"? --Tommy Edited January 12, 2016 by Thomas Graves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Larsen Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Sandy's "proof" consists of nothing but an uninformed misreading of a Federal Reserve circular and inferences that will not withstand scrutiny. Nonsense, Lance. The FRB regulation regarding PMO bank stamps is easy-to-read English. You know very well it states that 1) postal money orders are considered to be cash items, and 2) cash items are to be endorsed. It's that simple. In response, you claim that Federal Reserve Banks DIDN'T REALLY require bank stamps on PMOs, and so banks didn't stamp them. SHOW ME THE PROOF! You have none... because it is just your opinion. ... the simple fact is that I have demolished Sandy's "proof" to the satisfaction of anyone whose brain is hitting on all cylinders. In your dreams.

Tom Neal Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Does "the many" include DiEugenio, Prudhomme, Barto, LeDoux, Healey, and yourself, for example? Or by "new information" do you mean "new information that doesn't conflict with your currently-held beliefs or theories"? Per your SOP you are continuing to substitute evasions, accusations, etc for actual counter-arguments. This is just one more discussion you've lost and turned into a pointless argument that clutters up the thread. Since you aren't listening, rather than continue to talk to myself, I'll stop talking and let you talk to yourself while I don't listen.

Sandy Larsen Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Also, I agree with Tom (and now Tommy) that if somebody orders a carbine, that is probably what they wanted. Not a regular rifle. So Klein's wouldn't have even considered substituting a rifle. EDIT: Added Tommy to whom I am agreeing with. Sandy, Tommy is NOT agreeing with you. He is being sarcastic. See his later responses... Tom Tom, Yeah, you're right. Tommy changed the wording of the post I was referring to after I read it. It wasn't sarcastic when I read it. Or if it was, it wasn't as obvious as it is now. (Or maybe I just read his post too fast.) Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the original as quoted by Tom Neal: Dear Tom [Neal], You're absolutely right. A mail order customer would likely have been unhappy to receive a presumably longer-range and more accurate 40.2" rifle instead of a 36" carbine, so Kleins would have been very silly to send him one if they were out of carbines, wouldn't they. [ --Tommy ] But you are to be commended for at least admitting the possibility that you had read it too fast. You are very intelligent, honest, civil, and non-paranoiac, and you are, therefore, a very atypical member of the JFK Assassination Debate forum. --Tommy Edit: Or is this the post you were referring to, Sandy? Relax, Jim. I mean. Take some deep breaths. Look at it this way. If Kleins was out of 36" carbines, it was better business practice, for their own profit and customer-satisfaction wise, for them to send Hidell, or whomever, a 40.2" rifle rather than nothing at all. Which wouldn't have been the case if the customer had ordered a 40.2 inch rifle and they had sent him a 36 inch carbine, instead. Sending the customer a letter of explanation and an offer to send a carbine would have been the right thing for them to do in that case. --Tommy Edited October 31, 2016 by Thomas Graves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Parker Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) I see Tommy has also been indulging in some non-typo typing editing just like his new bro. Edited January 12, 2016 by Greg Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Greg, Unlike you, I'm not a very good writer, and in addition to that, I'm often thinking of things to add to or take away from my posts. I hope that's okay. Does that seem ... uhhh .... suspicious to you? --Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it has a place in any dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
