Mel - there was absolutely nothing wrong with Don's post, you must have known when you set out your sarcasm 'bait' that somebody would bite. Sorry I hijacked 'your' thread of mutual back patting.

On another note - if the 'grime scene' has become what I suspect, a place where contractors come to put on a good 'show' for prospective homeowners - where guys like you and Phelps start threads and mutually worship each other. Then please Tell Beth and Rod - to 'man' up, and state that in the rules. At which point I will totally respect your threads and totally respect your intentions - as you probably want to use this as a marketing tool - and increase your earnings as a result - and I totally respect and admire that, if in case that is what you guys are gunning for. But that's just not the 'grimescene' I remember when I first came in here in '06.

Perhaps 'your' thread is not an appropriate place to criticize your methods - then which thread can I post my thoughts? If at all? Beth, Rod - what is your board for?
