I apologize to everybody for how off topic this is, please flame away........... I have been following this board since February of this year, content to simply watch from the sidelines and learn. I never deemed it worth spending the initial start-up money, when I could learn just as much by simply reading the posts of others. As of lately however, I haven't been coming to the board nearly as much because it is a waste of my time to try and pick out the posts worth reading due to all the childish bickering. Every member of this board knows what I'm talking about, so I needn't explain. I decided I'd get a trial membership, so I could speak my mind, and then cancel it after one post, and so I'll try to sum it all up in a few sentences... I have learned more about the oil service business from a select few members of this board then any book could've taught me, (thank you Gary, Big Bull, Big Dog, etc.. You know who you are,) and I must say Slider is definitely one my top teachers. It is bad enough to have to listen to SargeK and and the rest of the "Slider Bashers" fight with him when he is here, but I can't stand listening to you all bash him when he is gone. I can't believe you can't even wait until he is here so he can defend himself. (Of course, he'd tear you a new a**hole, just like he usually does.) Bottom line, folks-If you purchase something just because somebody else is hyping it, and for no other reason, then you are just a bunch of mindless sheep, and you deserve to lose your money. It's funny how you all condescend when he is gone, as if he was some four year old (lil' buddy) and you taught him everything he knows, but when he is here all you can do is blame him for your mistakes. Anyway, I'm about to cancel my membership, so flame away, as I'll be completely defenseless in a few moments. Sincerely, N.H. P.S.-Sarge, why aren't you on vacation right now?
