Here I was positive Marty was at least quoted here ...

The title of the article is "Slights, insults and snarky remarks" and yet neither Marty nor Brevik were even mentioned. (I thought at least Mikey's Board would be the poster board internet forum.)

PS The article has a good list of topics to steer clear of when talking with your clients (or your wife)!

I can see that my insults have been truly disturbing to you in the fact that I haven't been mentioned.

:shock:

 

[Steve Toburen]

Sorry, Jimmy. Here on MB the snarky competition is tough.

Maybe Big Billy should run one of his famous contests to spice things up a bit.

PS To tell the truth, Jimmy, Marty won based on seniority and his pig-headed stubborness and Brevik won with his generally negative and nasty attitude toward ... well, just about everything. You have just mellowed a bit too much.

Damn, that was long.

Is this part of some New Year's death wish Resolution, Steve ?

Pushing your luck a bit here aren't ya ?

Fortunately for you Steve, Terje's invectives have been directed elsewhere recently.

Just be careful ... he has a short attention span

 

[Steve Toburen]

I guess you are right, Tony. My lapse was due to extremely high stress. I was in SFS all day listening to Yeadon deliver a masterful new marketing presentation and realizing that I have to follow him tomorrow. A tough act to be behind ...

PS You're right, Jim. I'm sure that Terry's lament is "so many targets- so little time".

Is he still talking about that postcard program?

For Mikey ...

Joel, where is the money in normal?
it'll never happen buddy, and as the belt gets tighter, it's even less likely to happen.

 

[Joel D]

TRUE

I enjoy Steve's presence here, and seldom think he crosses the line. There have been a few times where he has, but most times he's just posting as one of us. I didn't see anything in this thread that was cause for your concern, Joel.
