Mr. NYC in that thread has a long and colorful history that would make FCTSTY jealous w/r/t shredding people and just being a d-bag. He got the Evangelist title by being said d-bag...unfortunately, posts that say "No one should get op-ups for ops reasons, except me" (and without a hint of sarcasm, I might add) still count toward making the 10K post count. You can read his history, that very line is in there.

Thank you for your sage advice.

It's 100k (25%) below when it was originally listed a year ago and is the cheapest single family home in the zip-code (and is nicer than some others.)

Winner winner, I'll be eating nothing but rice for dinner for the next 30 years.

sdm1130, I don't mean to poop on your head, but that's a gripe that I've been meaning to espouse. You're not the first person to have an expectation, and you're not going to be the last. I just fail to understand why there is one at all.

"Uh, mom, you're flying to see me next week so that will be your 1000 miles". There was distinct disappointment in her voice as I think she was hoping for her first MR ever. My sickness is rubbing off on even the elderly (she's really not) ;)

CM, you raise an excellent point. As I typed out my initial post, I thought of fctsty and realized that my surprise in their behavior was not at all justified. As you pointed out, d-bags can one day grow up to be evangalists just like anyone else on FT.

I guess at the moment of my post, I was just in a land where Internet forums were full of people making positive contributions and having fun conversations. Oh well...

You're a good man :) You're dead tired because you had a four hour drive AFTER your flights!
