"The other thing we seemed to agree on is that we really don't know much of what's going on and it seems like neither does anyone else and there's way too much speculation."

Bill, as pretty much always, I have to agree with you. I will even add a little more. There seems to be two sides that are very divided (not one poster but many posters on both sides) that seem to be spending the majority of their time being both offensive and defensive. Neither side has a clue what is going on as evidenced by the mere fact that nothing has played out like either side has speculated over the past few years. I include myself in that category, as I didn't expect it to play out like it has. But, I am not going to waste my time on this board or any other bickering about what I like or dislike about a poster. Seems that there are certain posters who enjoy this and continue the threads way past their usefulness (not that there is any usefulness in this behavior). Not sure why we do this....but hey, whatever floats your boat! So for now, I really haven't seen much discussion worth reading let alone discussing, so I continue to lurk here. But, I saw your post, made the most sense for me at least, and thought I would chime in and say hello. Say hello back to Kirk and Paul. Take care. Good luck everyone. Back to lurk mode for the kidd.

Good luck to you, me, us, and all longs.
