Just saw this thread this morning. Read all the way through it. It was kind of like a great book that ended very anticlimactic. I knew the bad guy would be banned at the end of it, but I thought it was going to be with one of those great one liners from Mike like "See Ya!" or something like that.
Sorry you didn't approve of the ending.
Mike is out in God's country shooting elk/axis, and chasing the big toothys with Jesse Paul. Knowing that he was not available to do any forum maintenance, I took advantage of the situation. I told Mike that I would only handle this issue, if he would give me a 400% pay increase. He wasn't thrilled about it, but with him between a rock and a hard place, he agreed to my pay raise. Damn, I almost feel like that Tony guy now.... all about the money, and to hell with my friends/ associates.
