Yes John...thanks for the reminder on the rules. The problem I have with stuff like this as you pointed out, speaking in a crowded room is hardly a good comparison as everyone in that scenario knows all to well who is talking....not here.
So in my small minded world of showing ownership and responsibility of what I say publicly, I try to show some integrity and manners by stepping up and posting my name with what I believe in....or worse stick my foot (mouth) in.
Cheers....Bob Kellie
