You're changing your story. In your initial message you wrote; "At
5 miles from the airport (still offset from the centerline), I report '5
mile final'." So which is it? Were you on final when you reported
or were you offset from the centerline?


Both. I WAS on Final, and I WAS offset from the centerline. What a
concept!


Impossible. If you're offset from the centerline you're not on final.



You say that like it's a matter of opinion.


It certainly appears to be on this forum (and unlike some of you "Final is
A
Single Degree" Club members, I at least understand your opinion). Do you
understand mine? (as well as the opinons of those members of the ATC
community that I am basing my position on)?


It's not a matter of opinion. Others in this forum understand what "final"
means, you clearly do not.
