I understand your confusion. I was really replying to DoughtyOne and included you out of courtesy because the original comment was between you and D-1.
You are free to respond to my question, if you wish, but I wasn’t expecting you to.
Thanks for the courtesy of inclusion and thinking I was entangled in confusion. LOL!!
Not confused, uncertain of your purpose. You are very gracious re: comment. :)
In response to your question:
Not sure the response you were attempting to elicit, but seems you question was about apples and oranges. Some around here would have a fancy word for it, but for simplicity, apples (Political Rally open to the public) oranges (Awards ceremony which is in all probabilities an invitation only). Know very, very little re: them, as I make an effort not to watch their self aggrandizement.
Summarization: Two different ‘critters’. Two sets of protocols.
Thanks for the courtesy and rational reply.
Take care.........pilgrim
