thanks rush, back at ya, all clothing threads aside, ha ha ha. i think this question is actually really important because unless the sarno question as to being BOSS/ab is answered and resolved one cannot move forward in attempting to figure out next bosses and leaders. unless of course as i have done dont believe that theory. however i dont care one way or other, there is no grand prize that i know of for best outfit admin solution. i nor anyone else will get a lifetimes worth of deep dish 'za or endless beef dips if we get it right.

but another question for those who indeed do believe sarno was boss or acting boss. first pick one, is he official or acting? that would be a start and no one no matter how powerful or respected has ever been both boss and acting boss because its totally irrelevant and redundant. so for those looking to answer rush's queery make a decision on that. second if sarno is acting boss then who was serving as underboss of the entire outfit under james marcello? then tell me where do john difronzo, joe andriacchi, marco d'amico, peter difronzo, joe lombardo and al tornabene stand in all this? if anyone recalls my post about the possibility of the outfit having a ruling council/panel/consiglio they will know where i put some of these names. d'amico wasnt released until june 2005 after sarnos promotion would have taken place. if the council didnt exist then where do we place some of these names? is peter difronzo still elmwood park crew capo circa april 2005? or is it andriacchi if he isnt underboss? or is it john difronzo?

see when one accepts the sarno model it really opens up so many other questions as to other senior outfit leaders possible positions. the consensus on john difronzo is he was never officially BOSS of the outfit. totally acceptable opinion and one i share. then why would sarno be kicking up to him or partnered up?

WHEN HAS AN ACTING BOSS OF A MAFIA FAMILY BEEN KNOWN TO KICK UP TO A SOLDIER IN SAME FAMILY??? this needs an answer. really 2 soldiers i suppose if andriacchi not considered underboss.

a potential marcello/sarno regime....????
