The top toothbrush salesman at the company was asked by his boss how he managed to sell so many brushes. He replied "It's easy" and he pulled out his card table, setting his display of brushes on top. He told his boss, I lay the brushes out like this, and then I put out some potato chips and dip to draw in the customers. He laid out his chips and dip. His boss said, "That's a very innovative approach" and took one of the chips, dipped it, and stuck it in his mouth. "Yuck, this tastes terrible!" his boss yelled. The salesman replied "IT IS! Want to buy a toothbrush?"

And not being a member of BO when this whole Doc thing went on, all I can say is that rambling up top sounds like someone desperately trying to minimize their actions.

I take full responsibility for the error made by a publicist and marketer of a single claim of the medal of honor on a web site during the years 2000-2001. Those who have earned the Medal of Honor are true heroes and have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It is wrong to be negligent about such matters and I should have thoroughly proofread that copy and corrected that error immediately. I deeply apologize for that mistake.

Now, however you mistakenly allege that I claim to be a green beret. You also mistakenly allege that I claim POW status. Here are your words:

"You claimed to be a Green Beret, a Medal of Honor recipient, and a POW. You stole the valor of others who earned it when you did not. It has been about 24 hours now and no apology."

This is not true. I have never claimed POW status nor have I claimed to be Green Beret. I have a high regard for the Green Berets and I especially hold a high regard for all POW's.

As I stated, I accept full responsibility for the claim of the MOH on a web site in 2000-2001. All subsequent versions of that web site did not contain that error. The web site was eventually taken down. Please accept my apology.

Margaret's Military Zendo was a fictionalized piece of writing. You keep mentioning this article. Please note that even that article of fiction makes NO mention of me being a POW or a Green Beret.

You also state that my rank was E-4 and that is correct according to the FOIA. However, in fact I was an E-5 and that is an error in the FOIA. My captain at the 6th Psyop Battalion was Captain Jimmy Slayton. I also worked with a Green Beret, Captain Dye. I in fact did receive a medal for "good service". I don't know exactly what the medal was specifically called, but it was for doing a job well done and is in the possession of my father.

Next, you truck out an article posted on a broker board associated with my name and Omega Capital Funding and the FBI. If however, you read through that entire article it is entirely about Von Cummings. The article doesn't even mention Omega Capital Funding. A disgruntled broker posted that message and titled it with my name for revenge. But, out of fairness please read through that FBI posting on Von Cummings and if you are a fair person you will notice that it does NOT mention my name. Again it is about Von Cummings and Paramount on a deal several years ago.

Lastly, if I have insulted the Vietnam veterans and the Green Berets, I do offer my sincere apologies. I hope you accept this as not a PARTIAL apology, but a full apology to our armed services and the tremendous sacrifices they make for our country. I also believe that psyops, you said "chairborne" is also a valuable contribution to the military. I am proud of my service to this country.

Thank you for your acceptance of my apology. As I stated in my last email I take full responsibility for that egregious blunder.

Thank you also for bringing to my attention who Chuck and Mary Shantag are. I have only the deepest respect for any individual who has earned a purple heart. I have no intentions of pursuing litigation with them, so everybody can calm down.

My concern is that I'm asking them to remove what is not true:

1. That I was not an Eagle Scout. I sent proof that I was in fact an Eagle Scout. They have graciously now removed that false data and I thank them for that.

2. That I made the claim of POW and service in Vietnam. I have never made such a claim and that is the truth.

I think fair is fair. I've admitted to my mistake. I think they should do the right thing and remove "allegations" of POW etc.

Lastly, while you are having your fun by making light of my religious beliefs I would like to point out that you refer to the fact that I " I know that you actually have people believe you when you say that you have called up the spirit of Linda McCartney"

You seem to be a fair individual and I doubt that you read my article, "Ghost of a Chance". This article does talk about Linda McCartney, but nowhere in the four corners of that article is their any reference to the fact that I spoke to, or called up the "spirit of Linda McCartney". May she rest in peace.

I've been under attack by competitors in another profession and they repeat these falsehoods. If you have a beef with me about my religious beliefs, fine. One of the reasons that people like Chuck Shantag served in the military is to protect this nation's right to have freedom of religion.

Lastly, you mentioned that your sons are now in the military. I guess this shows our age! I congratulate you and them, and hope for their safety during these difficult times.

I don't believe we have anything further to discuss.

808,

Don't bother to have your publicist do anything.

That "hot woman" was a male cross dresser who hangs at ski resorts just looking for guys like you.
