Being a little... more vintage than most here, thought a little observation that parallels my life might be in order.

Helped build a business for another back in the late 80's thru the 90's. Went from 2mm to 50mm. 30 employees to 400. Started in sales and had a hand in bringing in the growth in good people and business. Ended up as president. There were significant character issues with our owner that culminated in my getting fired on a Monday after returning the previous day from a ski trip with some of the team. Worst day of my life. Over the next month most of the team quit. Sat out their non- competes and starved for 18 months.

Today we own and run a business together that is bigger and better than the one we left. Everyone is better off and happier than we ever were or could have been. Trial by fire forges strong bonds.

Weird the parallels in our lives at times. From the worst of things can spring the best of things.

What happened to the old boss, Dave? Did he go under?

Jon re-opened Al's thread and posted the following, then of course immediately relocked it:

"One more comment on this. Icehog and Daklugs have both in their own words expressed to me that they do not wish to return. If that changes they have my email address and they can email me. Case closed."

So.. first it was that they were not banned. Now their ban is open to negotation? I'll say it again, Class A Jackass.

I guess Silverfox's is non negotiable.

I only spoke the truth. It's sad when the truth is gaged.

Close your blinds, Al. The black helicopters are circling overhead.

I especially liked how he failed to address why they had problems accessing the site to begin with. Nope, no explanation just case closed

It is his world, we are just restricted in it.

Like I said before, don't even think about posting the truth over there

Dick moved it to the "drama" forum where you can't post replies and the thread disappears after one week (supposedly, but anything coming from Dick is of dubious reliability).
