Tom:
I do get a chuckle out of most of that stuff but in the end it is wasting time.
So let me ask you something, and I hope you can find some way to actually answer it, for a change, with something other than just another question response.
My question to you is this----you really do feel, don't you, that in the case of Hugh Wilson at Merion East and Crump at Pine Valley that they had to have been given far more help from a Colt or a Macdonald (or even the most improbable of all H.H. Barker
) than the histories of either club have ever admitted?
I think that very thing has always been part of your dilemma and I think it is very much Moriarty's----ie you simply cannot imagine and consequently cannot believe that men like those two could have done all the things they've been given credit for doing. And because neither of you can understand that or believe it, you instinctively have to find someone who you think could have done it for them.
That is why I've called you that professor Loewen term----a "No-Can-Doist."
