    Naw, I call that smart.

    I love this thread! I've got more to say, but I've just spent the last 3 hours reading every post on this thread and I need to sleep.

    I will say this though, Wickedfire77, you've got a great sense of humor, your posts are well written and you have a very realistic outlook...thank you.

    I try to keep it real for those considering doing this kind of deal . I'm lucky in finding the company that I did. I wish I found them years ago to avoid harsher experiences with more sinister agendas.

    I have been toying with the idea of leasing, but kept that to myself much for the same reasons you were reluctant to disclose the company you run with. Personally, I think you should have kept the whiners whining a lil longer, but I have kids too & I know how whining can weigh on your nerves until you just give in.

    What are Equity's prerequisites? I'm not too far from Grand Rapids, sounds like we're pretty like-minded and you're having a pretty good run with them so I might as well at least check them out.

    Why? What would have been the point of keeping it to himself? I think we all have proven that we have not given him a hard time about it and most of us are happy for him.

    Simply because it was funny and I like the suspenseful way he presented his story. He clearly stated that he would tell anyone who wanted to know if they would just take the time to read the thread, find his email address and simply ask. Which is exactly what I was going to do until I read the big reveal.

    I wasn't saying he shouldn't tell period, just that the suspense amused me and a lot of people seemed to be incessantly whining about it when all they had to do was ask.

    In fact, in post #361, he told YOU SPECIFICALLY that you just had to ask. #justsayin

    If you wanted to move to Tejas I was talking to a friend today. He has a guy he used to run with that has all kinds of paid for toys. Big shiny W900 and hauls frack sand as an O/O. 3 weeks on and 1 off.

    So i am just supposed to give my email out to total strangers? That makes perfect sense.
    Oh and btw I have read this thread all the way through. I have been here since the beginning. Glad you think it's funny to piss people off.

    Right, cuz the internet only gives you one email address to use for your entire life and it is completely impossible to have more than one (ya know, a secondary one for things just like this). And God knows if someone gets your email address they can drain your bank account and steal everything you own...gimme a break. Not to mention, the OP also said you could PM him and just so you know, we all already know your username so there's no risk for ya.

    I don't think it's funny to piss people off per se, I think it's funny that people get pissed off when they have to follow directions and things aren't handed to them on a silver platter, exactly how and when they want it.

    I didn't come here to start a pissing match, but I can see you are one of those people who just like to fling poo everywhere you go, so I will concede that the OP should have just bent his own thread rules and divulged the company name at the first whimper...what a jerk for holding out. That used to be called perseverance and was an admired trait amongst successful people. We really do live in an instant gratification society nowadays, that's so sad

    Are you saying this guy is hiring or that you know of an opportunity for an O/O?

    Lets not bicker and argue about who killed who and move forward with a sunshine like optimism. Cats out of the bag and there is no sense in playing what if games or whether it was the right thing to do. It's done and now we look to our horizon to get a close up photograph...just a little closer now.
