It seems pretty self evident to me that this is quite a stretch.
In this quote, you disagree with my position.

And in this quote, you seem to be supporting my position.
Sorry, Alan. You can't have it both ways. (Only slimy politicians get to do that!
)
And maybe we're talking past each other to some degree. I don't remember ever labeling anyone as an "undercover agent"
deliberately working against the pilot group. It's certainly possible for someone to work against the best interests of the pilot group without them being some kind of traitor/double agent. Some people are just misguided and do dumb things. That's life. (That's Moak!
) All I'm doing is trying to get enough people to rethink the way things have been/are being handled so that pressure will be brought to change it.
