A lot of people focus on what appears to be Mikey's big head and fail to see his other less obvious attributes, one of which is his great passion to be the most excellent carpet cleaner on the planet. And while he can sometimes come off as a brash and pompous ass, you all know that you want the same thing and have probably copied, at least some of what he has found, tested and talked about.
So, in one of his more humble moments, he decided that in his pursuit of having the most excellent buletin board on the planet that he would need some help. Hence the Admin Group that you have heard bits and pieces about. Mikey did not have to do this but he put the decision making about anything to do with this board to a majority decision of a group of 7 people. You may or may not know who they are, so here goes:
Mikey, Jim Pemberton, Larry Capitoni, Richard Chavez, Lisa Smith, Tony Wheelwright and Dirk Wingrove.
It is quite an interesting group that covers a wide cross-section of this Industry. For example we have: 1 token Woman, 1 token but legal Mexican, and 1 token Foreigner. We have a well known industry trainer, a manufacturer, a supplier, 2 multi-truckers, 2 Owner operators, 1 ex Owner Operator, and one sort of in betweener, a newbie, some old farts, 2 east coasters, 2 west coasters, a mid-westerner, a northerner & a southerner - well sort of. A young fellah, an old fellah and everything in between. We have a philosopher, a historian, a rebel, a renaissance girl, a traditionalist, a techy and a statistician. In short a pretty good balanced mix of this industry.
We discuss things like the board format, new rooms, ways to promote this place, to pay for it, what threads or posts should be moved, edited or removed and how to keep it interesting and fun for as wide an audience as possible without being too boring or too outrageous for anyone.
We have and will make mistakes so bear with us as this board grows and matures. And if you have any complaints or constructive suggestions please send them along to us.
And finally PLEASE, remember that this bulletin board is a baby just 3 months old.
ps, we don't always agree but we get along well and respect each others views, so try to do the same, please.
