The only mystery is why it took so long for someone to make the connection. I've been waiting for this thread since the story broke.

I think pools are okay now, but get a polio vaccine.

So you saw the connection immediately but chose to sit on the story. Gee, thanks Tex.

I have no idea myself.

No wonder Bronco is coming out with the stuff he is at firesides. I would go to any lenghts to protect my million dollar job too.

People wouldn't even recognize me. "Yes sir, the honor code will someday be found in the same cave as the Golden Plates. Honor code principles I am sure were revealed as surely as the Bof M was."

I wanted to see how long it would take the conspiracy theorists.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and that's not why I started the thread.

Why is it illegitimate to think that Jessop is a conscientious objector to what he saw as unjust treatment of one of his colleagues? It's a reasonable inference and it doesn't make anyone a conspiracy theorist to ask the question.

Anyone who criticizes in Tex's mind is at the very lest a conspiracy theorist. He actually probably thinks people who criticize are part of the underground movement to get women the Priesthood and enslave men.

I can handle Tex's braying as long as he keeps being funny. Plus, Tex, you're earnest, right?

Jessop leaves a great musical legacy - in terms of organizing the TS Orchestra, improving repertoire, musicianship, etc. He should be allowed to retire dignity intact.
