Ironbear, you know from a few of our IM exchanges that I am not exactly pleased as a "rabid" fan with P5 right now. Whoa, not at all. But when it came down to it, I had to decide between giving what I believe to some decent, good folks a chance to get up and make good after stumbling badly. Kinda like giving that running back another chance after he fumbles the ball. I'm not saying everyone has to agree with that philosophy and maybe my age is making me too damn forgiving for my own good. But I see some attacks, insinuations and innuendoes being made against what I perceive to be basically good people. Weve all made mistakes. Bad ones. Little ones. Big ones. And when we did, how many of us did not wish for that opportunity to make up for it? To make good on it? Most of the time we probably did not get that chance. Perhaps, maybe, that is why I think Im willing to give Steve and his crew that chance. Just like others here I respect such as yourself, Legume, ScottA, JeffH and on and on. If one of you made a promise to me and stumbled in trying to fulfill it, you can bet the farm I would give you a chance to still make good on it. I guess that is what Im doing here. The only difference is that some see it as giving a business a break. I see it as giving a group of people who just happen to be part of a business the break. I hope I made some sense. It has been a very, very long week and some recent personal news has not exactly been pleasant. So I do tend to ramble. Sorry for that. Ive always given a person the chance to either betray or honor my trust. If they honor it, we all win. If they betray it? Well, beware of the devil dog foaming at the mouth. Take care and be well. casamerica
