Award for most effort to prove who arturo was not, goes to...Rudi (who is offline until the end of the month, BTW)!

As part of his sinister plan, having flown all the way to Hawaii in August of 1999 to meet with Rudi in person for the first time...Rudi, who thought arturo was me, wanted to "test" his theory so for an entire day (unbeknown-st to me), he never for a single moment let me out of his sight. I couldn't even shake the guy to go to the Loo! I was beginning to "wonder" about this guy!

All the while he had a confederate purposefully bait and engage arturo in a FlyerTalk conversation during the same time period.

Only after this "investigation" did Rudi, somewhat disappointedly, reveal to me that I had been eliminated from the "suspects" list and I was cleared of all charges.

God knows how many others were the victims of this cruel (Mai Tais, Cuban cigars, fine food, beautiful bikini clad women) and unusual investigation.
