amaury Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 It recently came to my mind. Imagine someone closes the #4. If he posts it on the board he would obviously have to post photos too (according to rule #5), but wouldn't R. Strosssen be bothered with that(photos of the #4 closure on the board before than in MILO) ? In fact i thought: maybe Heath (or another one chasing the #4 off course) has already closed the #4 but doesn't want to post it on the board (maybe because he can't do it consistently for the moment and so can't get certified or just doesn't want to have PBS with R.Strossen etc. ). What's the mods opinion about that ? What would happen ? Thanks, Amaury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 (though not a mod, a thought): This of course causes one to wonder why these matters are not presented on Randy's own website- why wait for MILO to present the newest accomplishments? This is a unique situation. Does any other manufacturer care that someone sets records on its equipment and then announces it before the manufacturer can announce it? In fact, does Randy really care- do we know that he does? Certainly he features the new Captains in MILO, but is it troublesome to him that the fact of the accomplishment was announced before it can be so featured? Mob's MB lift was announced here before it came out in his own magazine. David Horne has announced contest results here before they came out in his magazine. Frankly, if Heath, that wimp, closes the #4, I'd like to know as soon as possible- I'm not getting any younger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roark Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Mobster, I think I can speak for everyone here. Rule 5 can be set aside, no photo required. We accept your claim to having an ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted January 25, 2003 Author Share Posted January 25, 2003 Well, well thanks for your answer Joe. Heath you wouldn't let us all know if you closed the #4 ? Or did i get it wrong ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat 74 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I would make no announcement if I closed the 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 What must be understood is that on the continuum of publicity seeking, Heath is at one end and Mobster at the other end. Both men are correct in their stances for their own ego types- one is not better than the other, though one is more subdued than the other. I cannot speak for Heath, but I suspect that when he is able to close the #4 anytime (like he can the #3 now) is when it will become public knowledge. That is, he will want NO DOUBT that he can accomplish it whenever he is challenged, or whenever he feels the urge. Do not read into this post that he has closed a #4.

OldGuy Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 When Heath closes the #4 and it could well be soon, he will make no announcement. He is truly modest. We will however soon hear about it from others who have seen him do it. This inspite of him trying to keep it quiet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 This should not be an issue. Most would tell Strossen first and he would then ask no one tells so everyone can wait 3 months or more to find out! Kinney closed it beginning of January 1998. The issue didn't come out until the first weeks in March of 1998! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratavarious_connection Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 correction, Kinney closed it in mid-November 1997 ( without pics ) and with pics on January 10, 1998...it's been over 5 years since that beast has closed it without someone duplicating the feat...certainly there will be others that will close the 4 and probably before this year is out- but I truely believe that no one and I mean no one will top Kinney's feat of closing it within 2 years of total trainning nor will they be as light as he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
