I thought TheMob didn't like Mb3e because of the counter bomb found. I thought Ha6s addressed the horse exchange. TheMob seemed ready to go with Ha6s and I was about to make that move. Am I misunderstanding something?

Dunno, after bomb's move we can just get our M back (M to c3 and Dd1n as a last step for instance). The position looks just as good as what we get after the Ha6s move as far as I can tell.

Upon further thought, an interesting reply to Bomb's counter to chessandgo's move (to ...) is
Ewwe hb5.
We may play Hb6 on next move if allowed, we also threaten horse pull with camel.
Sample reply:
11s m rotate to d5
12g dd7 Mb6 looks hard to fight.
On the other hand, if we allow the variation with horse exchange, is that bad ?
Say
10s Flee east with the horse to g4
11g Move gold elephant to g5 + Md3 (or Mb3)
11s Move silver elephant to b6 + Hb5
12g&12s Horse trade
13g Rabbit flip ?
The question seems to be, how much can he harass our camel.

Even though I remain a bit confused, I see what looks like overwhelming support for 10g Ef5w hd5s Ee5w Ha6s. TheMob has spoken.
