Let me cut to the chase real quick with this.

This popped up on one of the many RSS trackers I have running with google.
I cut and pasted and linked back to it. Like I do with MANY industry related stories. Good or bad... it starts discussion like this thread did and had concluded on a sounds fishy note.

If you have a problem with it... do what you think is right. I always have.

Secondly I was a guest of Steve and Shellee Hale on the yacht trip. Anyone that knows me knows that I seldom attend any parties at shows. And I certainly dont attend uninvited. I figured it was was ok for her comapany to invite me - they were picking up part of the tab werent they?

If the Hale's were in error then please send me your address to cut a check for the amount that you think would be appropriate for the matter.

My first contact with your company was when catsup head spammed my board trolling for additional sponsors on the last trip yall cosponsored.

So the bad taste I have for your company was way before I ever met the Hales or this press release. Youve seen me in person. Im a big boy and I can make my own judgement calls so the insination that someone is holding my reigns doesnt hold water.

Besides people here know better.

So if you want to come over here and play thats fine just dont cry when it ends up bad for you. LAJ might close threads out of sympathy.

I wont.

The users of this forum are intelligent enough to make educated decisions for themselves.

So no matter how many times you quote and counter each paragraph and no matter how many "homies" you want to bring for an old school pile on the people of this forum will decide for themselves in the end as they always have.

Ps Em ... you know better than to think anything has changed.
