The statement is not true and I'll leave it at that.

Normally I would let this be. However, if there is a problem, I believe the membership should be entitled to an explanation.

Hopefully there was no box labeled "Model Airplane Parts"..... :wink:
Goodness, let's not go there. We have two different opinions on whether/why/not testing is stalled, all else is speculation.
It was a joke, hence the emoticon with the wink.
No matter what is going on, I would expect both parties to at least chuckle at the joke.
I will not speculate or guess or invent insane scenarios.
Shame on both party's for keeping this under cover.

Speculation? What speculation? I read both threads, and nothing has been speculated. One guy says it is "political," and another guy may know something but is not talking. Wow, rampant speculation! Snore.......
Some people say that others might have been commenting on the very pertinent issues at hand about whether or not someone once said that maybe an acquaintance might possibly have known what another interested party mentioned on the aforementioned affair.
Rocket people want. They must be fed. They must be fed fast or they will begin to speculate.
Or begin certifying their own motors...
If something is preventing the National Bodies from conducting certification testing, it will only lead to harming the reputation of the hobby.
This is one of the hobbies that should be taught in school, so that we may all steward it in a responsible manner.
It's a real shame when ANYTHING gets in the way of Rocketry.
Where the heck are our Future Rocket Scientists supposed to come from if they are not inspired at an early age???
In Russia, they encourage "Active Guidance" under thrust via Radio Control at the hobby level.
I even have a PDF of a Book on a Disc that was given to me by a forum member who will remain nameless, that basically tells you how to make a radio controlled rocket.
It is translated into English, but it is obviously part of a Russian Club's "Curriculum".
No wonder we buy our launch vehicles from them.
If the N.A.R. Can't even certify a Hobby Motor, something is afoot!!
The second order corollary of speculation is jumping to conclusions. You seem to have that down pat.

Psst! Jumping to conclusions is all the exercise some rocketeers get....
Now THAT, is something I can take offense to. I'm, 168lbs, and 5'9"(Used to be 5'11.5" and a very toned 195lbs.), and make a point of walking my Dog 3-4 miles a day, despite my fractured spine.
You can P!SS on my rocketry skills any day of the week, and sometimes I deserve that, but don't you dare suggest that I don't go out of my way to do my physical therapy and keep myself fit.
Them's fighting words. My broken body takes great offense, but I'm also mentally healthy enough to let it go, so just know, I'm not some fat slob who always exercises my digits at the Keyboard.
I much rather be running my Machinegun than being a cripple playing with a bunch of overgrown children.

You are right about one thing though, a lot of people don't take care of themselves.
Don't you tell me about Exercise!!
I used to be to exercise what Sodmiester is to Rockets.
I still maintain as best I can, but only carry an M4 style rifle and a Glock 19 for EDC now.
