Merry,
The point I was more or less trying to make is a point I chatted about at the Toronto Red Green event.
I was complaining that when rumours and things got out of hand I had hoped that some of the more respected individuals on this board would come forward and make a clear(er) statement as to their thoughts. (Okay, I know there have been exceptions.)
I TRY to speak up (although not an old timer...having only read this board since early '99) but I am always aggressive and often an a*sh*le in my statements (Catcop, sorry!).
I do agree with both you and Boomer in the fact that this is a great commercial resource for Randy. He can get such great info. from a concentrated resource...and SELL it for $$$. Imagine trying to write an article or find new information without this board???? I'm sure it requiring staffing up considerably.
I wrote on some other thread the other day about this being a business resource that if I owned I would work more diligently to keep going smoothly (ie: stamp out this thread right at the start with a clear statement). I can't find where I wrote it now.....maybe it didn't post???
Please don't misunderstand me. I appreciate Randy running this board at "his cost". Although I have never met him he seems like an okay guy. Also, I do know this is a great asset to him and his organization and will eventually require more professional management.
IMO,
Dorian
