I would like to congratulate Larry Hodges in advance on getting elected as the director of USATT. Larry, you are a true inspiration to all politicians all around the world. You have managed to brilliantly hide your shady past with USATT. Noone even knows Terry Timmins as a former USATT president and your very close friendship with him. Noone knows about your over 10000s and 10000s of postings on the Google Newsgroup called rec.sport.table-tennis discussing about Terry Timmins between the period 1997 and 2004

And noone remembers how you were the editor of USATT magazine until Terry Timmins was unfortunately unable to renew your contract despite your very close friendship. Of course noone remembers how many times you were selected or elected to do some work for USATT and parted ways starting fights with board members and you make Billy Martin proud. And your brilliant opening lines amusing starting for each posting on RSTT " I will ignore this kook but I will just post once more and that is it & noone else please reply to this kook" until you post over and over again with the same opening " I will ignore him" . Of course everyone have now ignored your million postings on RSTT and have voted for you..
You are a true genius in whispering sweet nothings to voters and have them ride an emotional wave with you totally forgetting and ignoring common sense and logic. The way your followers worship you blindly riding on pure emotional love has to be a lesson for each aspiring politician.
Another valuable lesson that all politicians can learn from you is how you cleverly identify with majority of voters and their needs. Your clever support of illegal speed gluing for majority of attacking players who hate defensive players, by stating that there is noway to endorse gluing rules is a stroke of genius.
However your crowning achievement has to be the way you handled the Durban Aspect Ratio rule of 1998. It was truly brilliant how you dance around this issue claiming more times that you do not remember than Reagan did during his Iran Contra testimony even though you have nothing to be ashamed of because your support for illegal speed-gluing and your support for the Aspect Ratio rule must get you elected since 80 to 90% of USATT voters are speed-gluing supporters who hate long-pips.
Last but not least is your brilliant ongoing control of all moderated forums weeding out enemies and cleverly exiting the unmoderated forum Google RSTT after 7 or so years between 1997 & 2005

The USATT membership & you richly deserve each other for however long it maybe until you pull a Billy Martin again.
