Sorry to disappoint you, olddude, but like the rest of us Joe is only too human. He may have the power of Life & Death on Mudcat, and weilds his sword from on high with terrible consequence, but when he appears in the flesh (in threads such this) his message (and bias) is as subjectively flawed as any other - perhaps a little more so because so many around here believe him to be infallible, himself included at times...
