Jeff, I think that you make some fair points - but the independence of any forum is always at the discretion of the host. LBG hosts the forum and has a VERY even hand when it comes to governing - as Lynn often says it is a Collegiate atmosphere, questions, debate, answers. But the bottom line is that Lynn teaches HK's work. Therefore the forum works to help people understand HK's words and ideas...spreading the message that Homer would have done had he been given the opportunity.

Lynn and other forum members have a great knowledge of the literature and players that helped HK forge his own ideas and my own library has swelled to incorporate all the old books that HK had access to...so debate goes on about how these books influenced HK etc.

Showing pics of people who have had no exposure to TGM and saying that they are great strikers with their planes does not help....they achieve results in spite of the above hip high patterns rather than because of their above hip high patterns.,,,in fact because their patterns get close to HK's theories below hip high...which makes most of us think that HK was onto something. Politically the problem might arise when those people are associated with people who earn money in the same arena as LBG... I know that this has not happened yet...but the boundary is easily crossed...

There is alot more to TGM than you get just by reading the book and forum for 6 months...eggs keep on hatching many months and even years later...

Seriously, have you built a plane board?...I did...in my living room....full size...that is a great place to start and then people will not take any offence if they know that you have tried it... "less Gedanken...more G-doing"
