I would love to know who cheated and even more, what impact it had. Unfortunately, I don't know and can't know. Neither can folks like our friend psd here. I understand him though, I was enraged at first that Bonds would overcome a record set by a childhood hero like Hammerin' Hank but have since come to realize the folly in my emotional state over that. Also, I have since learned of the suspected foibles of Hank's era - it's just a situation that we can't fix. Have to live with it or rage against it in vain - I choose to live with it.

Not a good enough one in your eyes. That's your opinion. I think my measuring stick is just fine. Society becomes overly permissive because people are too cowardly to speak up & call wrong wrong. So they lessen & lessen standards to the point they have no standards. Chaos & anarchy ensues. The saying used to be "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time". Now it should be "Do the crime cause people are too lazy & scared to take the time".

I'm not of that ilk. The rule is there. They broke the rule. Punishment follows.
