    It’s pretty hard to get banned around here ain’t it?

    It used to not be very hard, especially if you were trying to straighten out an annoying, snot nosed, whiney newbie.

    I never did get banned, bit I did get a short vacation for supposedly being somewhat rude to someone.

    Yes and no. If someone has a hardon for you it’s quite easy.

    It wasn’t hard in the past. There was a huge purge years ago of guys that had been there, done that in favor of know it alls that hadn’t done anything. I missed the ban hammer but most of my friends didn’t, so I only come on every once and a while these days.

    Aww, c’mon, spreadsheet commandos who hadn’t even bought a truck lecturing guys who actually owned trucks for years on how they were wrong about something? What’s not to like!

    Q: How do you get a driver to talk for an hour?
    A: Just walk past and look in their direction.

    All kidding aside, that's another great video of a high quality subject. Thanks for doing these. I left some more remarks on the u-tube page.

    I ran into Blair in Hillsboro, TX this week! Woohoo!

    Tripped all over my tongue like a fanboy and totally forgot to have him autograph my boobs, but it was an honor.

    Just a great person to meet. I was yammering away with gibberish but he just listened with full attention like I was making important talk, lol.

    My ADHD needs refining.

    I took notes.

    Truly was an honor, Blair. Thanks for doing what you do.
