When the core members are active, this is the best Buick board around. As far as Canadians are concerned, anyone who can manage to get a hard on in sub zero weather is a trooper.

I've *heard* that established boards like that can fetch a pretty penny. I can't begrudge a guy for selling a website for a boatload of cash.

Principles, IMO, apply to more lofty matters than selling a Buick board. Really, I don't know any back story with this but if it's a simple matter of "Should he have sold the board?" I really don't see it as a big deal. Seems the same as wanting to lynch someone for selling their Buick. Again, maybe there's more to it than I'm aware, but it just doesn't seem like a huge deal to me. Than again, I haven't given a shit about that board in years.

I am damn tired of being politically correct and most established organizations are going to frown on guys like me.  Boards that force their members toward certain companies are simply an extension of political correctness with a profit motive thrown in.

If a vendor tells some guy that he needs an xfi system instead of a chip to run elevens, then I am going to tell the guy that he needs a vendor with scruples...... and I am not going to be banned for telling the truth.

yep, he was under no obligation to do other than he wished.  We still have freedom of enterprise in this country.

Well, we have most of the same minds, but less archives. If you ask, I'm sure we can assist.

Other than that - Canooks are OK with me. Makes me feel even better about living in Florida.
