It's funny I guess, but as I read these posts, I noticed a mention of Skype.
I couldn't help but reminisce on a Skype conversation I had with Crusty last year.
Back then I was still a mod of the rughub.
Anyhow, I managed to catch the crusty one on Skype one day and we had a bit of a talk.
I asked why he hadn't been on the rughub for nearly a month, and his reply somewhat shattered me.
"I sell more equipment on Facebook than I do on the rughub".
End of conversation.
Well, being somewhat of a slow thinker, I pondered over this for a while before announcing on several forums that I had pulled the pin on the rughub and was no longer a moderator.
I did receive some emails from Crusty asking what terrible thing he had done for me to take this action, and that he really wished I hadn't of posted what I did.
Even yesterday he said he still does not know what he did to make me take this action of resigning from the rughub.
Maybe he will now understand that money is not everything in life, and that many people do have principals that tell them not to rip off everyone they meet.
Also that not everyone enjoys having father and son invite themselves into their home uninvited for a week or so, all expenses paid.
I may never have much in life, these are only monetary items that boosts ones ego.
What I do have is many friends in and out of our industry and a wonderful loving wife and children, albeit they are all adults now.
We don't need to bash the bible to show how good we are in front of all and sundry, He, (if there is such a person), will decide when we stand before Him (or Her). hey Marty, blow me
For the likes of bongospongo and crusty, they don't pay my rent and I can do without both of them in my life.
I wish them both well for the future, as long as that may be.
Probably until the overseas trips dry up, and debtors wish to be paid for monies due.
I reckon that's all that needs to be said on those points.
In the meantime..............
I don't regret my past, I just regret the times I've wasted with the wrong people.
Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.
