Well, I had a long hard look at the at my hard attitude toward the other board, and past issues.  And I realized that it is time to let go of old grudges. I realized the wisdom in being a teamplayer and keep the lines of communication open regardless of all of individual eccentricities (and we all have 'em).

So, in the spirit of the Dalai Lama, and other noteworthy thinkers, I am encouraging everyone to let the bygones go and think about the value of a team. Think how unstoppable a cohesive force is, a house undivided.

Happy competition is good, but that other stuff just wears us all down in the long run.  Long live team work!  Let commerce flow and keep avarice in check.  the Smurf is gone and the Saint has returned!  theSaint

Your right it doesn't make sense and I am sure it wasn't directed at me - for I know I have no eccentricities )))

In the words of the great dali him self (a big hitter I hear - long off the tee) gunga lagunga - total consciousness will be yours!! (so you got that going for ya....which is nice!!!)

I totally agree with the idea of open competition - and As long as I am quoting - the best will rise to the top and others will come and go. We gauge ourselves on what we think we can do while other gauge us on what we have done. The great one's will always be in demand and the scammers and ROB's will make thier money and go. How we learn about the bumps in the road is not as important as the fact that we do learn it. Be it from different boards or differnt providers and expierences.

I will miss the smurf, but look forward to reading the saint's thoughts.

I don't mean to speak for all - but in the name of the nation of clients, I accept this olive branch of peace!!!
