Email I got this morning.
Dale,
It seems to me that you barely contribute to the message board. Do you even care about whistles anymore? Seems to me that all you do is pop up occasionally with something completely OT and weird. Like this Enron thing. Maybe it's time you retired.
Name Withheld
I'm thinking about a good reply but I'm not going to have time until after I finish shredding these Enron documents.

Let's see, you edit the newsletter, tend the website, read the message boards, deal with the email. . .but you don't post on an hourly basis.
Dale it is OBVIOUS that you just don't care.

- Tell us something.: Long ago, I was told that I faked iTrad whistle work very well. I took that comment to heart. 20 years of private lessons - and many, many hours of rehearsal later - I certainly hope I have improved...

What? Now you have to contribute to this forum in order to be classified as one who likes whistles? Does the CEO of a company need to contribute to all of it's forums in order to run the company? I think not.

Hey, get off my back, everybody! It was the only way I could get Dale to even acknowledge me! Oh, to tell of the hundreds of nice You're-Doing-A-Great-Job emails! The flowers I sent secretly. The Clare two-part whistle I sneaked in his mail box. And not a single acknowledgement. Nothing. Nada.
And now this. Publicly. I cannot bear it.

OK, I've always been the <i>Devil's Advocate</i> so I have to pose a few questions here...
1) How did Dale become <i>The Undisputed One</i>? Was this a personally appointed title or is there some sort of commission out there who bestows titles like this on unsuspecting people? Is there a crown and scepter that goes with the title as well?
B) Can I become an <i>Undisputed One</i> too and receive free stuff from people?? I would enjoy constantly getting gifts like whistles and CDs and clothing (but, please, no more underwear!!) and whistles and even pipes.
3) What exactly does the Chiff & Fipple office staff do, as well as the countless field reporters, if Dale does all the work? Who exactly is paying their salary??
IV) Are we paying for Dale's LearJet or was that a gift (wink wink) as well?
These questions deserve honest answers Dale!!

Actually, Name Witheld, Dale still cares a great deal about whistles. It's just that his collection has gotten so obscenely large from all those freebies, etc. that all he does any more is spread them out on the floor and wallows in them in WHOA ecstasy. Doesn't leave much time for this messageboard nonsense. And when he does post...well what cheek to try and insert some off topic levity. "Harrrumph!" I say! More mundane sobriety!!!!!! No more weirdness!!!!!(pant, pant) ... well...I'd just better go have a little lie down...(pant, pant)...I'll be better in a minute...Name Withheld wrote:

P.S.
P.P.S. I think Name Witheld is really Porridge's evil twin "Oatmeal"...either that or he must be one of those bullys from Commie Martyr High...Holy Mudhead, Mackerel!

I think I can answer one or two of these:
1) I think Dale became undisputed about the same time he became the <i>only</i> tinwhistle journalist. At the time my website was new, it had reviews of the 5 cheapie whistles I'd played. I stumbled across Dale's site (one of 3 tinwhistle sites on the internet, if I recall correctly), and saw that his reviews were more in depth and professional than mine. I tipped my hat to him at that time (though secretly envious that no one ever sent me a free whistle to review), removed my reviews, and put a link to his site from mine. I believe at the time I even said on my site that his reviews made my pitiful attempts look pathetic.
4) I think that your dues specifically are earmarked for the caviar served on the Lear, John.
