There are several people in RBT who have done things I cannot do. Tom

You used to complain that I didn't provide
documentation. When I did provide documentation, you cried that I was
just bragging.

It's not documentation when you make claims about what you can do.
It's not documentation to relate what someone unknown person said
about you.  It's not documentation when you post what you say to your
imaginary friends.

Do you even understand what documentation is?

At the bottom of this post is some of your bragging. None of it is

Now go ahead and snip out parts of this post you are unable to respond

Don't take any silence on my part for some sort of surrender. Interpret
it as resolution to not waste as much of my time responding to closed
minded, bitter old fools.

But I'll admit, sometimes I slip up.

"Am I qualified to talk about such things? Yes, by virtue of attending
multiple classes at various levels for each of the programs described
above. I've also acted as an editorial consultant on two well known
books dealing with those matters. I've written many articles on those
and related topics, and had some of them reprinted by publications in
other states and one other country. I no longer maintain the teaching
certification, but I've taught many cycling classes, I've written
scripts for and appeared in televised instructional spots, I've been
interviewed for newspapers and TV on such matters, and I've spoken (by
request) at city, regional and statewide gatherings."

"I've written articles about dogs vs. bikes, and I
was once quoted on the issue in _Bicycling_ magazine."

"there are others who have examined my
bicycling qualifications, tested me and proclaimed that I do, indeed,
know what I'm talking about regarding bicycling."

"I've been riding with this club for 35 years now. I've given
workshops and classes on riding, including group riding. I've written
articles on it for the club newsletter and for other publications.
I've had other cycling instructors compliment my riding, and say they
learned and improved by watching me. Just last night, one member took
me aside and asked me to give tips to a new member who obviously
needed advice on group riding."

As I posted above.....

Now go ahead and snip out parts of this post you are unable to respond
to and tell me, *with documentation,* what are some of these things
you do that I cannot or could never do?

.....  apparently he's gone back into his bubble

I have noticed though, that he has backed off the bragging and the
anecdotes about his imaginary friends, so something has changed his
mindset, either my pointing out that nobody likes braggarts and liars,
or maybe he has been getting therapy.
