I've heard that the Irish are pretty stubborn and intractable too, and that's what I am mostly ! I'm seeing this through ! I've been in for more than 2 years, and am impressed by the professional and respectful attitudes of the (present) movers and shakers of this stock. And I also respect (and enjoy) the regular posters on this board, who also are hanging in there !
I was born in Germany, my wife is from part German ancestry, I was raised in the South, and now live in the Wild West. How's that? :-) Do I get to stay in the club? :-D
