"If I were trying to "promote myself," there are far more lucrative vehicles that I have at my disposal."
Sure you are......in terms of general public familiarity, you Armstrongs lesser. He is well-known and well liked. The thorn you are becoming in his side will backfire at you.
I wish you well in your effort that is going to harm you and ultimately assist Armstrong. He didn't need YOUR blessing to get where he is......and he sure doesn't need it now, either. Get off his back, man, in the long run it will only harm you.
btw, "promoting" ones self is rarely in and of itself lucrative......(something about a chicken and egg there, too, LOL. Bon chance! thrice, even)
What part of 'I don't care' do you have problems understanding?
I've written more than this prior to now, and will do so long in the future.
To hear you tell it, I don't have quarter to criticize anyone.
Tough.
And if anyone's on anyone's back, it appears that you are the one riding his jock. That's your prerogative. Enjoy.
