Adios!

In any case, thanks for the support and education.
I have learned that when you overcommit yourself to others, you develop a sense of wanting more or expecting a certain kind of respect and defense when bad things occur. I realize that it is not your place to care, worry about, nor pity my situation in the least. It would be nice to get some support from those who have benefitted for so long for free, but who really cares in the end.
Your attitudes and self-righteousness reveal so much more in the end then I could have ever expected. Thanks! ;-)

I don't need your money - now. But, it is kinda ironic then when I needed some support etc for the board, I got mostly negative & abusive comments. Really makes a man want to keep spending money on others. Thanks for taking and taking and taking. Really makes people feel appreciated and moved.

I guess I cannot expect more from you fellas, then is there in the first place. ;-)
For the good ones, Claus, Dell, Zane, heybusdriver, Mark H. and Dave Smith -- thanks so much for your unyielding support and encouragement. The rest of these greedy & overweight fools could learn a lesson or two about respect & class from you guys. Oh well,
time moves us all forward.

Thanks again.

Andys generosity of offering of free picture posting on his business computers was a "freebie" and those that used his largesse should step up and at least thank him, not flame him..... ...respectfully, Dell

And Kim would appreciate it, if you feel the need to vent, do it by e-mail..... ..thank you, Dell

later,dave

• Andys reply to me

I haven't kept up with all of the prior disagreement in the past, but it seems to me that the responses to Andy's request for monetary support were not symathetic or constructive.

I know we won't always agree on things, but at least we should get along!

My $.02 worth,
Danny

I am also sorry you have such a bitter taste in your mouth over such a traditionally reliable and simplistic machine. Maybe you just got ahold of a bad egg. We all have had our frustrations with these old tractors. Especially us new guys (my 2N purchase 1st anniversary is in 2 weeks).

To be perfectly frank, I saw a few of the disputes you were involved in, although I never participated in any, I am not so sure you didn't bring at least a part of it upon yourself.

You seem to be a good guy. Good luck on your future ventures.

Sincerely,
Johnny

PS: Watch out for what those new tractor salesmen say. They speak with forked tongue.

I defended you Andy when there was that big bruhaha between Dave#1 and Tyler MD
vs you and Dell and others. And though I agreed with your right to pull Dave#1's pics off your site,
I thought you would have shown much more class for suffering all the foolishness and doing nothing about it.
You lost a lot of credibility for that act. Maybe more for the way you let him back on.
But that is a sleeping dog now.

I have no pictures. But I have gleaned much from other's pictures.
Pictures you were kind enough to host.
Isn't it funny; that those who give the most here recieve the most abuse.
Look at Dell. How he helps us every day and yet he is flamed so often for the way he goes about it.
You too. You spent your time and money hosting the pictures.
Yet were ridiculed, flamed and slandered in spite of it.

I've many times wondered about your hostility though.
You've used sharp words several times when they weren't necessary.
It seemed you saw the slight or the cut or the offense when none was
ever intended.
Made me wonder how you could get along with a woman or a boss or a client.
Made me wonder how truely alone you are in your life.
Made me feel bad for you. For the Seer knows aloneness.
But he also knows how much of it is his own fault.

I wish you well Andy Hammond LA. And I thank you. But I wonder.

Where have you been Andy?
That you need to burn your bridges? Like the ones you're burning here?

How can you say such a thing Andy? Shame on you.

Read the text below. It is from the moderator's rules for the YTMAG website.

Maybe all of us, you especially Andy, need to read and adhere to these rules, especially the part about personal attacks.

I have been around almost since day one and have kept out of the forays. I feel bad that you think the members of the Board do not live up to your expectations and standards. I find they are representative of the institution called life and as such we can choose to deal with them, accept or reject thoughts and opinions, prosper from the good, learn what not to do from the poor, or run.

The choice is in each of us. That is the beauty of this wonderful country. It is summed up in what I call the "Kenny Rogers Principle":

Know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away and know when to run.

Best of luck in all your endeavors.

I read all the posts, sorry for all the trouble you are having. These are tough economic times, lots of people being laid off etc... My question is how much did it cost to operate tractor forum??? I was just curious... Any how, $3500 in back taxes is not too bad, and you should be able to over come that shortly. Is there any legal action you can take against that old Accountant???? Good luck, and by the way, I have not meet a man yet who has not regreted selling his 8N... Keith
