Richard, just to close the book on this from my end, what I was objecting to was this quote from you:
"Forrest has said there are no Keywords in the poem."
Forrest never says this, nor implies it. In fact most would argue he said the opposite, even though he didn't do that either.
Here is my transcript, starting at 15:51 into KPro and Cow's YouTube show from December 9th:
Mike: "Can I ask one question, Forrest? Just one?"
FF: "What?"
Mike: "Can I ask one question?"
FF: "Yeah."
Mike: "Do you still believe there's a word that is key that searchers should focus on?"
FF: "Yes."
Mike: "And is that word in the poem?"
FF: "Now you said one question."
Mike: "Then you ask it, Kristie – is that word in the poem?" (Group laughter)
Cynthia: "May I ask a question? Is that word in the poem?"
FF: "Now that was *two* questions. You asked if you could ask a question – was the question."
KPro: "And you thought *I* was bad!"
FF: "I take you literally! What's your question?"
Cynthia: "Is the key word in the poem?"
Forrest: "Well, that's what he asked me."
Cynthia: "No, he asked you if there *is* one, and you said yes. My question is – is it in the poem?"
(Several second delay as Forrest considers his reply...)
FF: "There's one word that will help you more than some of the others."
Mike: "In the poem."
FF: "In the poem."
Mike: "Alright, thank you, Forrest. That's pretty big for searchers."
FF: "But you gotta have all of them. One is not going to take you there."

I thought the hesitation to say "in the poem" is interesting; maybe its a hidden word or an anagram in the poem.

Richard: reread your original post. You are contradicting yourself. I did not contradict myself. Forrest never stated that it was a key word, he only stated one word would help you more than others, he then went on to say but it will not lead you to the treasure. So IMHO there is no keyword. A key word unlocks everything, Forrest said the word would not solve the poem, only that it would aid you. Definition of a key word: www.thefreedictionary.com/key+word |

Richard: my point was that you claimed Forrest said there are no key words in the poem. He didn't. Failure of Forrest to admit something is not the same as denying it.
Suppose Forrest's "word that is key" is HORN. (It isn't, IMO, I'm just using it as an example.) Clearly that word is NOT a poem word, yet that word can be easily found within the structure of the poem by two independent methods. If that were Forrest's keyword, would you say it's "in the poem"? This is why I think KPro's, Mike's and Cynthia's interpretation of Forrest's response was mistaken. And they should have been wiser to that possibility because of how Forrest cleverly responded to Cynthia's first pair of questions. If you give Forrest an inch, he's going to take 8000 links.

Imagine being that mentally agile at 90. Forrest, I mean I continue to be amazed at Forrests extremely quick wit, and i beleve he buries a lot more in his comments that generally go unnoticed. HORN is found using at least three, maybe four, methods. And the bugle scrapbooks 246 and 247 came out shortly after the HORN thread. ( i think the letters for AS THE HORN BLOWS are found in a group ). |

Forest website which is mentioned in that thread has the bison skull with horns on it but it’s much much smaller than it was for many years. mysteriouswritings.proboards.com/post/39144/thread ( thread name “HORN” ) |

I am seeing posts about rooster and roo recently on the blogs and I’m guessing it’s about something forest has recently said. But there are no links given. Does anyone have a link for a rooster comment by forest? Thank you in advance
im seeing thread about a recent cynthia interview with forest. Does anyone have a link to this interview?

I don't remember him specifically wishing Dal a happy bday, maybe there is one? But I remembered/found this one, Sir Astree:
