Fred, congrats on your son's marriage. David, Where did that come from? My son has been married for 27 years. Best wishes, Fred. Oops. I thought you had mentioned your son getting married and Obviously I'm wrong. Sorry 'bout that and I will use the 'chemo on the brain' excuse. Granddaughter graduation I got right and have the pics to prove it. Be well, Fred! 😊 Best, David

I need a favor from someone... probably Steve Andrews...
My wife and I had lunch with Diane and her husband a couple days ago and of course one of the topics of conversation was the LBHA, its problems, and its message boards and Facebook page.
For the first time in a while I decided to go over to the LBHA's message boards to skim through and see if there was anything worthwhile. Today-- I guess about two hours ago-- a poster there who calls himself "A10ACN" posted a review of my Strategy book. It was an extremely nice review.
I no longer belong to that board and have no idea who this fellow may be, despite having corresponded with him when I was a member. I would appreciate it greatly if someone from this site would go to that board and post my thanks and appreciation, publicly, on that thread. He was honest, sincere, and decent, and unlike some who post there, fair and without a personal agenda. I know of only Steve who still belongs there, but more than one thank-you from me, if conveyed, would be appropriate for someone like A10ACN who took the time to read the book and post such positive comments.
Best wishes, Fred.

Fred: I just went over to the "other side" and did as you requested. I stopped going there, let alone posted anything. The least I could do was pass on your request.

I appreciate it a lot. That fellow has always been a voice of reason there and I appreciate his comments. Again, thank you very much. Very best wishes, Fred.

Fred,
I hate you for making me look at that board.
Poster Keough has been cutting and pasting Caldwell works, to justify his emotional and irrational views on tactics. Poster Keough's understanding of tactics, armies, operations etc is zero. His emotional attachment to his role playing makes any comment he has on this battle, or anything military, useless. Read his threads on Caldwell, and understand how an unsound, emotional, and irrational mind operates.
Before I am accused of libel or slander: the criminal convictions of the state of New York are fact. The CJR article is fact. I am deliberately sticking to known, verified facts, unlike the other board.

I never said Langley was a criminal. I did say as a member of the board he failed in his duties of oversight. In addition he is the board member with direct supervision of thelbha website. So two train wrecks have occurred where he is the direct supervisor.
I respect that you and others who have met him say he is a nice person.

Fred I don't know what Saint Patrick's beef is with you but obviously he has never read Strategy as he cannot even criticize or comment on the book since he has never read it! Authors have always suffered the Oh well, people like him are always with us and are part of the underbelly!
He has no opinion, informed or not, that counts for anything yet the thought of his teaching small children his own version of what happened on June 25, 1876 is scary and sad, very sad. Regards Dave

Has anyone considered inviting A10ACN to this board? Or perhaps Beth's? I found him to be very snarky early on; a less annoying version of Griffith but have grown more impressed with his willingness to learn, grasp of other views and presenting more moderate opinions on BLBH. In short I have no doubt that Rini will eventually ban him for harboring opinions contrary to the moderator's agenda driven nonsense.
Fred, my apologies for my error on whose son was getting married. Congrats to Tom and best to you.
Best,
David

Fred, my apologies for my error on whose son was getting married. Congrats to Tom and best to you. David, No apologies necessary. I figured you had me confused with someone. As for A10ACN, I would agree: he would do quite well here. I have no way of contacting him, however. I am not a member over there and have no intention of re-upping, just to drop off once more. Someone here would have to spend the effort to show him this site's URL and make a case for us. Hope you are doing well... better than even the last time we spoke. Hang in there my boy!!! It can be beat!!!!!!!!!! Best wishes, Fred.

David I have always respected A10ACN as he would present his comments with sound reasoning. I do not remember him being anything but calm and reasonable so hopefully someone who has no been banned like me could invite him.
I knew following Tom's ideas would get me into problems! Regards Dave

As you say he,or she, is a smart person. I think would have the ability to go to any board they pleased without being invited. It would seem to me that he or she chooses not to. Just my opinion. Be Well Dan

Dan,
I agree with you and if I am not mistaken, as I think about it more, I believe I may have told him once before of this board. It is what it is, however, and if he wishes to join-- or not-- it is his business.
Actually, failure to join here speaks louder for one person in particular than it does for A10ACN.
Hope you are well and are coping...
Best wishes, Fred.
