I'm never going to post that because IMHO you are not right about Bull Dog; Sir Gallahad III was and continues to be more influential in this country, particularly through his many, many producing daughters. I did say that I had misread your post about Bull Lea being a poor sire of sires, in case you missed it. And tried to explain why I thought it happened.

I'm too tired to write anything more now. Sorry you didn't catch the intended humor of the 'ballistic attack'.

You prefer to fudge and be dishonest ... instead of graciously conceding that you misunderstood something.

Are you seriously trying to say that "for a while" ... meaning the mid-1940's to the mid-1950's ... Bull Dog wasn't more influential than Sir Gallahad? Can you even remotely back that up? Please list all the champions and major stakes winners from the Sir Gallahad line ... during that period ... which matched the parade of champions from the Bull Dog line.

And Bull Lea wasn't just a poor sire of sires ... he was awful ... as I said ... the world's worst ... as far as stallions who were champions themselves. Your "explanation" of why it happened ... because his sons were "exported" ... conveniently leaves out why they were exported ... and that's because they stunk as stallions here. Why else would champion ... or major-stakes-winning ... sons of the pre-eminent stallion in this country be exported to a Europe that had barely begun to recover from the devastation of WWII?

About Coaltown .. you just say that he was exported ... but you again conveniently left out that ... from over 150 foals ... he failed to sire a single stakes winner ... either here or in Europe.

I'll give you this last chance to redeem yourself ... not just with me ... but with everyone else who is closely following this thread ... and simply admit that you misread my first post ... and subsequently came to understand that the points I made were correct.

That should be pretty easy for a self-assured, mature adult to do. Are you up to it, Annie?

Well, I followed this a bit, really just to see BB make an a ss of himself (not disappointed). PedAnn... no need to "redeem" yourself, at least on my acount and certainly not on this buffon's account either. He's just trying to get off (literally or figuratively,... probably both) by yanking your chain.

Don't feel obliged to feed the clown.

Just trying to give her another chance before I draw a final conclusion about her.

Some people make snap decisions ... and tear into people who malign them. I'm sure you've seen that happen ... both here and elsewhere.

I'm a little less impulsive than that ... I'm always willing to give someone an extra opportunity before I write them off.

another chance at what? typing what you want to read,rather than what she wants to say? she already replied to you. maybe you should go back and re-read....or maybe you should just be satisfied with what you got.

Unless someone is already our personal friend ... we never know who we're dealing with on these forums ... except by the words they bang out on their keyboards.

Anne has the type of historical knowledge which might make her an interesting person to communicate with ... but after the interactions I've seen her have with myself and others ... I have some doubts about her character.

I just want to see if my doubts about her are valid or misplaced. Most of the posters here are very straightforward ... and you know where you stand with them ... like 'em or not. I want to like Anne ... but she's been making that difficult.

Pedigree Anne ... or Pettifogger Anne ... which one is it?

Words spoken from one I've written off. It wasn't a "snap decision".
Plenty of "opportunities" for others to see as well.
I'll again say, "He that argues with a fool proves that he is one also."
