Finding your source on the third link is not too bad. Of course, mine was the first link when I googled "interpreters rules." I didn't check beyond the first three links provided, but they all included essentially the same text I provided above. Interestingly, the second and third links were from MD and NJ. Your MD reference was taken out of context. Shame on you! And the NJ reference was also cleverly edited to make your point. Here's the whole thing:

Because interpreters, transliterators, and translators are responsible only for enabling others to communicate, they should not take a primary role in such communications and may take a secondary role (see below) only as necessary for assuring an accurate and faithful interpretation, transliteration, or translation

Right back at ya! Try again?

Nobby, why you hatin'?

Accurate factually no doubt, otherwise the instruction would have been simply "faithful", no need for the appositive "accurate" if they were talking about word for word translation.

You misfired on that one, my friend. Those are your words providing your position. Unfortunately, they are not from a credible source and arguably supply misinformation.

(You are clearly getting desperate at this point. Why not just concede? You obviously don't have a leg to stand on.)

Since my intent of the last three pages has been to be annoying, pompous, and arrogant (I know for a fact that I haven't been disingenuous) I glad to know that I have succeeded. What I don't understand is, since this aim was so evident and has been for quite a while, why you've been following the thread?

Are you contractually obliged to read this? If not, why follow a thread that annoys you, and why comment?

If you don't like the discussion here's some advice: DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK.[/

Actually the thread is now 8 pages so I don't know what your intent for the first 5 was but I assume it was the same as your intent now. To be a pissy little lying dick. Looks like Mr Green is trying and failing to take that title from you.

Anyway I haven't "been following" this thread. I just found it yesterday. At first I thought your I-am-never-wrong-no-matter-what-the-facts-are stance was funny, much in the way that a 2 year old putting his hands over his eyes and saying, "you can't see me" is funny. But then I read on and became awed and then ultimately yes annoyed at how much of a child you are.

You are all those things I described, particularly disingenuous. (That whole thing London and the other marathon being the "same" revealed that clearly enough. Your attempt to wiggle out of it is completely disingenuous.)

Whatever. I have no intention of continuing. I will allow you to make your inevitable "last word" on the subject that this thread reveals you so obviously need. Then I will go away and do something more useful then pout online. You should try that sometime

F***ing children.

You are an insignificant loser. You are a liar, too, just like that other weasel. I am not wrong about anything I have written here, or in fact, ever written. If you don't think so, just ask me and I will tell you the truth. Anyone who dares defy me is a liar and a weasel. Except skuj. I like him.

I apologize for the incessent banter. I was not trying to do anything other than get the last word in on the unfortunate Nobby Nomates. I admit to taking satisfaction in knowing that I got under his skin and annoying him a bit. After all, he's been doing that to others on this board, so I though a little payback might be justice. I figured I had to fight fire with fire.

Unlike NN, I was able to back up every statement I made. Now that NN has been exposed for his true self, I feel my job is done. Once again I'm sorry if anyone was overly annoyed by this "discussion." My points have been made. I'm out.

Given the example of you and Mr. Green no wonder people have such a poor impression of the intelligence level of Americans. Had I just wanted to "win" on that London thread, I would have, in typical Letsrun style, just made fun of the fact that marunner didn't know who Steve Jones was. That was all I needed to do.

Instead I try to answer him in a mature manner, with information (despite what you might think, the continuity of the trophy is important, when they moved the Derby from Epsom to Newmarket during the war, they were still Derby winners, the history travelled with the trophy. Likewise, when they moved Royal Ascot to York two years ago to refurbish Ascot racecourse, the history of the Gold Cup

and all the other big races travelled to York. The history of the trophy is inescapable.)

I then pointed out that taking the word of a man who tried -and failed, miserably(unless you consider losing a massively expensive lawsuit a success)- to keep his club's biggest race going might not be the wisest idea, but apparently nobody ever writes anything on the internet which isn't 100% true (bit of a conundrum for you and your accusations towards me there.)

Anyway, thanks for offering up further evidence of the average Letsrunner's inability to think critically, but I think Mr. Green has you beat hands down.

Dude, you kept calling him a liar and weasel. I think he got under your skin alright.

Think what you like, calling him silly names is just part of the entertainment for me.

meanwhile you're doing wonders regarding anyone's impression of the typical British intelligence level. these ignorant Americans have been out thinking you pretty well here, though it apparently hasn't really taken too much to do so.

How many times do you folks have to fall for this?

You should run screaming from the screen every time you see a post by Nubby Numbnuts. He enters a discussion, tangles himself in knots and then attacks a peripheral, immaterial point before degenerating into insults. Let him go.

You are a lying weasel, just like all other Americans.

I think you might want to check your scorecard again. Mr. Green certainly isn't doing very well. He claims to have backed up his statements, which, if you bother to look back over the thread, is patently untrue.

Meanwhile, its a lot of fun watching you lot get irate. Keep it up.

And it is patently untrue because I said so. The evidence on this thread may suggest otherwise, but it is all a lie put forth by American weasels. And if you continue to suggest that I am wrong, I will taunt you a second time.

We are Nobby's Nubs. Normally, we allow Nobby to do the speaking for us, but we think it is important to inform you of something. You see, Nobby does not have a brain. Instead, it is us -- his nubs -- which do his thinking for him. So, as you can see, sometimes things come out a little "funny." We try very hard, but we are small and not very good at cognitive thought. We have other things on our "mind", though, to be honest, Nobby does not have much need/desire for our primary function.

We were reluctant to mention this, because, you see, Nobby does not know that he is brainless. He honestly believes that he is smarter than all of you. Even now in the face of this awful truth, he will attempt to deny it and will suggest this is another example of weak American humor. The poor guy. It really is a sad affair.

As an aside, I wanted to tell you about a fund that has been started by the folks here at the institution. The doctors are trying to get Nobby the help he needs, but the cost is prohibitive. If you care to help, please send a cheque to the "Free Nobby's Nubs; Help Nobby Get A Brain" fund care of the institution. Thank you so much for consideration.

And please ignore any further posts from Nobby. He will try to distract attention from his desperate state, but remember he really does believe what he is saying. It's so sad.

Nope, you're wrong.
