step one is to remove your bookmark  (or your cigarettes depending on which habit you're working on)

A common complication with quitting smoking is when those around you are doing it, and you see and smell what you crave. With forums, it's often when others link you or copy and paste from the place that you're trying to avoid. Constantly bringing it up or seeing it brought up doesn't help the attempted withdrawal either.

Been about 3 weeks. That last exchange that involved dipsh!t did it for me. It's kind of difficult to comprehend the logic of going into business with someone like asdf, even tangentially, knowing his predilection for drama and controversy, even at the expense of his business reputation. There's something wrong with the guy.
Work is the curse of the drinking class . . .

I was speaking to someone who knows him very well a couple days ago and he told me of an incident that happened a few years ago. He said Barnes said to him that a certain trucking company had trusted him with credit and they were burned by Barnes. Barnes told him it was their fault for gambling he would pay so it was their fault for getting burned by him. That said enough for him about Barnes and says it all when I think about it!

I don't miss it either and don't understand why everyone keeps talking on this subject.

I'd like to see getting back to more technical discussion because we all learn things and I find it far more rewarding to read.

Where did all the industry guru guys go?

Rich, I know most peoples hate for the man and I have not been around long enough to know the whole story. From most of the posts I see from you they are concerning him and not contributing to the forums in a positive way. I am not trying to get you upset but I think someone that has been in this industry for so long would have more to contribute to the forums. Dont take this wrong as you have reached out and tried to help me and I appreciate that, I just could not fulfill my end of expenses. And by the way the person that everyone hates actually advised me to talk to you as the machines he is trying to sell is out of the ballpark range in price for me and thought your company would be a better fit for me. Again dont take it wrong, I just think you waste alot of time contributing to posts that involve him.

Two specifically said  that they for the most part avoid posting on forums in general to avoid controversy and industry politics.

When I lived in MN, the vikings were called the tampons..because they only had one string, and only good for 1 period.  Gross.

LOL. I've never heard that one before and I'm a Vikings fan since Fran Tarkenton.
