(snip) Judy has consistently demonstrated that she is an idiot to the extent that I never read her posts. She knows as well as I do where all this information about King Tony comes from. If Salyavin read my posts, he'd know I've said I'd tell folks where it came from if he refused. Salyavin's "information" about King Tony is, at best, third-hand. It came from two posts to FFL2 by JamesAlan735 (who used to post to FFL) recounting a dinner conversation he claims to have had with a friend, someone said to be in the know about the inner doings of the TMO: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FFL-2/conversations/messages/9948 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FFL-2/conversations/messages/9970 JamesAlan, however, like Barry, happens to be one of those people who delight in making stuff up and presenting it as if it were established fact. He made two different posts to FFL2, for example, in which he asserted that my extended absence from FFL not long ago was due to my having had "a series of strokes." I have never had even one stroke. He made this up out of whole cloth. Now, that doesn't *necessarily* mean JamesAlan also made up the story about the dinner conversation with his friend. But it's a red flag, IMHO, that should lead one to insist on confirmation of the dinner-conversation story from someone known to be well informed and honest. That Salyavin has declined to say where he got his "information," given the nature of its source, tells me he is aware that it's iffy but doesn't want FFLers to know that. But you can all make up your own minds about the reliability of this TMO/Tony tale.
