I admit, I didn't attend the SH meeting. I did read the synopsis by those who did attend - about a half-dozen or so. Several of them mentioned JD having 2=3 bodyguards flanking him.
I have to admit, you were the first person who is of an opinon that Jim Dial would be touted as a hero when it's all said and done. Prior to your post, even the biggest supporter of Jim Dial on these boards said they were somewhat disappointed with the SH meeting. Particularly in the way the metting was carried out.
I know you were there, and you have the benefit of the direct observation. Still, the opinions run a full gamut from terrible to good-but. IMO you have a firnge-opinon. Your optimisim is at the outer limits. So I don't give much credence to the "I was there, were you" comment.
