handfaf Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 So all this BS name spelling is going to change WHAT?. Just be thankful the lake has water in it. Time to change boards frankly this board is boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, mostly boards like this. Having met the man and read several of his treatises, I felt it was only polite to point out the correct spelling. It is natural for people to assume Strong with an R when they hear the name, because it is not something we usually hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may very well be boring, but I think accuracy in all things mentioned is important, especially in a wasteland of opinions, factoids (please, look up the correct meaning of that word), and misinformation.

Then there's this article which thanks Dr. TOM STRONG... https://www.expatsinmexico.com/the-safety-and-health-of-lake-chapala/ I don't "know" AndyPanda because it appears that he/she's a newbie. However, I do trust Tony Burton. It just makes it VERY hard to find correct information when the author's name is acknowledged incorrectly. THAT was my point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dog in this game (actually 3 rescue dogs but that is another story), but this is a 2009 video...how can it be relevant to this conversation?

I don't know you, either, but you seemed to make more of a point by suggesting that I was somehow incapable of being correct. I refer you to your own earlier post: "AndyPanda... please google Dr. Todd StRong + Chapala... " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 That was my point. End story. You first made the point about his name in another thread but never went into more detail nor did anyone else question your assertion. I wanted to know for sure what his name was and that's all. It's a shame that this was never corrected way back when. Dr. Todd Stong is one of the most knowledgeable people about the lake that I know about and deserves the kudos.

AndyPanda Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 It was in this thread. Did I need to give more detail than just correcting his name for everyone? I assumed no one questioned it because it was a pretty bald-faced asseryion, and because they probably looked it up... using Google. Like you told me too.

Ferret Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 I wanted you to see how many hits you got using the surname Strong. I rest my case. And it was not in this thread... it was in this one... and you wrote... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPanda Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Gosh, you are right. Cedros carried this thread over. But why would you want to see how many hits I got, when I am the one who used the name properly first? Looked like you were correcting my spelling, actually. Guess I was wrong there, as well. By the way, rest what case? I did not Google Strong at any point. Especially since I also know Tony Burton, and he backed me up. All in all, this is really quite silly. I offer up the correct spelling of a worthy man's name, and I end up in this quagmire. I begin to see quite clearly why so many people dislike this board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 I guess it is time to quit reading this thread..... or maybe cedros could change the title to "Strong or Stong"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
