"I think I have provided more information...by way of hsitorical images and essays then both of you put together. but since you are incapable of finding these images on your own...Ill see if I can scan some of the images and e-mail them to you."
I have no doubt that is true.
And that remark is just another confirmation, in my opinion, of what Tom MacWood really cares about and thinks about---eg which is how to impress people with only his expertise on historical resarch, which it's becoming clear is his only expertise in golf architecture or even restoration architecture.
And I've said a number of times that that ability on your part is impressive. Unfortunately, that is not the sole requirement to understanding the realities of restoration architecture.
I used to think you just didn't care to get involved in the other necessary realities of restoration architecture but it just may be that it's not a matter of you not caring to get involved for some reason---it just may be the fact that you don't even know what we mean.
Maybe I wouldn't either if I'd not been willing to get involved in them in the first place.
But the point here is, I think, that despite the vast importance of architectural researching, your crebiilty needs to be questioned on what else is required in these projects.
I think your credibility is being questioned more often on here and by more people now, not on researching but on what else these projects take to do and it seems that they are finding your credibility is beginning to be found wanting.
