You forced me into this, you brought it on yourself.
Hal did not make calls to anyone first.
He only talked to those who called him at his number left on RSB or a call back once the person already contacted him. He didn't search out numbers through 411 to make cold calls to strangers. He didn't know where everyone lived to make the calls. But here you are again still posting in a pool forum about Hal and CTE just like 20 years ago.
The stuff you posted (in blue) should bring back fond memories. It's certainly not your first derogatory post about CTE or Hal but it's right at the 20 year mark. Have a fun time reminiscing. Too bad you've wasted your life and haven't been able to let it go.

This is the biggest crock of transcendental pool bull I've ever heard. Even
worse than I imagined. Is this really the line (including hook and sinker) you
Houle Pool suckers... er, students are buying? Does he do seances, too? Can he
channel Efren through me for the Chicago RSB Shootout?
You know, if you count up your fingers and toes and subtract the number of tries
it took to get it right, that leaves sixteen... exactly the number of balls in
pool! Weird, huh? You don't think that's an accident, do you?
