Danny, i know your feelings are hurt that the Mosconi record had to be superseded by John Schmidt of all people, but if you put down the weed for a few days, you'll start to develop a less fragile ego.
From your post:
"Tiny posse's members also have the right to their opinions, just like opinions of the multitudes that would include the fifteen posters that all feel the need to repeat their own inaccuracies of the stats for the claim. Tiny posse's though should have some evidence, not just odd ramblings. The tiny posse seems to base their objections on hurt feelings and wounded egos.
Add them to the 150 or so that attest to the viewing of the edited videotape. Any numbers above that totals is truly falsified stats. How do you know how many people have attended? Just making this up? Is this like 'shaved slates'?
Seems to be very short of the masses/multitudes that are being claimed to having accepted the legitimacy of claim. The number who have said they don't accept it seems to be only a handful according to this thread, and the other threads that you started. And again, the objections are from people who's feelings were hurt by the new record, and who somehow believe that anybody beating Mosconi's record somehow diminishes Mosconi's accomplishments.
John Schmidt has not stated that he attended the BCA reps viewing of the unedited videotape. The Billiards Digest article suggests that Doug Desmond, alone, flew the unedited videotape to the viewing. Even if accurate, why does this matter? It was a video after all.
Who is the ‘owner’ of the ‘unedited videotape’ in question? The assumption is that John Schmidt retains ownership. That seems fair to me?
Could the BCA reps have certified the claim without having even spoken with the 14.1 pool player(shooter)? They had a video and we know they communicated with John Schmidt.
Only one other person has admitted that he had viewed the unedited videotape and also attended the four hour viewing of the sound dubbed and edited videotape. That person has not said that the two tapes are one and the same. Have you asked him, or do you think it was up to him to keep you informed?
Ours not to reason why,
Ours but to do or die,
Into ‘THE VALLEY OF DEATH’ went the 626!
How fitting! If you want to quote Tennyson, you should also note the end.
"Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!"
"Noble six hundred" indeed!
