Howdy Bill and the top of the morning to you. Yes Techride is one fun board although sometimes we don't speak "proper" English as some folks put it. Long ago some of my pals and I had the best and busiest board on a major's PF site. But to be honest Bill, the major sucked, the major rule's sucked and so did some of the people who showed up on the board. We did the smart thing, we left them to their negativity and down-hill ways and we started this here board, a friendly fun place to make money, Techride. I figured out long ago what was wrong with most boards and a simple solution to the problem. "Have fun, make money and talk about anything you want" is the solution. Otherwise you end up with a serious group of people who tend to loose serious money. Not us, though we rarely lose money, when we do we have fun doing it. Yup, losing money should be fun too! CPQ just screwed me and some other Techriders out of some money but it was a chance to get 5fer and Mason the attention the needed while having fun. Each time I wrote "Earl Mason sucks" I laughed, hell I just laughed typing it. Now for more fun Jed has "sumting" very important he would like to say. All rise.............hey that means you too, get up out of your computer chair.......................All rise (stand up!)......Hereyee....hereyee.......the Secret Society of the Techriders (SST, very fast) is now in session....the honorable Jed presiding, be seated. "HowDe all yar Techriders it's yar long tine pal Jed. Weze gots us sum Vi-tell-O-im-portent-0-biznus dis mornin.
