Mr.Birdsell,
>>>To tell Ben to take a hike is more than just

rude, who do you think you are.<<<

I will tell you who I am. I am someone who cares deeply about "our" hobby. I refuse to be lied to by individuals who pretend to be someone other than who they really are.

When Ben allows his email address to be displayed; when Ben tells us who he really is and quits hiding behind his bulls....; when Ben quits pretending that he collects chips; and when conducts himself like all of the honest individuals who post here - I will quit being rude
to Ben.

My friend Bob Orme and I disagree vehemently invovlving a club issue. Yet, we have ALWAYS been civil to one another. REASON - we don't pretend to be someone other than who we really are. Get the message Mr.Birdsell. Honesty and being upfront will always command respect even if one should disagree with what is being posted. Best, Jim
