OT - Cal - please follow your own advice for once and re-read what I posted. I did not once state that I hated Croaker - I said that people hate him. I don't give a crap about Croaker - I am indifferent towards him. What I don't like is the crap that comes with him and the diversion he causes. Just like now - that guy doesn't even post here and you and I are having a conversation about him. It's wasted time - for you and me and anyone else who frequents this board.
I don't hate anyone on message boards - it's not worth the emotional capital. You'll find truths from both the longs and the shorts. I don't like extremism on either front - that's when I stop paying attention and posters lose credibility to me.
This is all about making money for me and if I make some friends along the way, that's gravy (not Payne gravy but the good kind).
Now that Elixe has moved on, you can grind your axe with me if it makes you feel better. I want to respect you because I think you are a damn smart guy, but you are just too prickly. Cantankerous Cal.
