Trust me it wasn't pure politics...it was probably because of the reasons I have stated in earlier post. Truthfully, Dan Nolan wasn't a large enough fish for KJN Hwang to be playing politics. This is no offense to Mr. Nolan. I just don't see the political gain by such an action. It had to do with what KJN Hwang perceived as requirements not met to his satisfaction and allowing Mr. Nolan to return to his dojang without losing face. I think KJN Hwang was probably experimenting with the Temporary designation at that time and probably abandoned it shortly thereafter when he determined that it no longer served him or his purposes.

You are probably right sir.
