This is a great board and you folks are terrific. The back and forth is good for all, and I respect all.

Guess I have gone "wild" with the space limitations for a dog and pony show meeting, but the engineer in me and gut feel of my Italian personality has gotten the best of me after 8 years as a holder in this company.

Fire code violation aside, with 60 chairs crowded into an approximate room of 15' X 20' (I only took a quick glance yesterday as I've said) and I'll give that point up if they clear the room out before I get there next week and put tiny folding chairs in there, which I had not thought of so I'm a fool on this point, but I remain feeling there will be no "MATERIAL EVENT" based on the meetings location.

I want to be proven wrong next week. I want all of you to beat me up until I cry wolf. I also need to be aware that I am a newby in here and everyone has the right, if not the duty, to challenge my comments. I'm a "big boy" and retired and 60+ (as in not 61 as YET..LOL!!) so I can take it and show respect to those who oppose my comments, even if taken out of context, misunderstood, or you feel the need to tease me etc.

Bottom line, this is a great forum, I like it here, I would appreciate you "adopting" me when you think I have deserved it, and please accept my different style and personality from time to time, of which, I have plenty of time now that my work career is over.

Ribbing me is a good thing, as I love a good discussion. You folks have great insight, I'm serious, and if I opened myself up to some "jabbing" then I deserved it.

Believe you me EDIG folks, I hope I'm dead wrong next week and all of you give me the business. I have much at stake with this little puppy, and need to get healthy PPS wise like everyone else.

Later my friends, my Wife wants to venture out to an Indian Casino and spend our pension money while we are in SD.

Please forgive me if I have offended in any way at all.
