To all you Dell "haters" - if you do not like Dell's "style" - don't read his posts - simple eh? We all know he comes off rude and gruff - why does this surprise you all still? If you have a beef with how he answered YOUR post - send him a "happy gram" offline from this board and address it personally instead of continuously dragging it through this public forum.

And - for all you guys who seem to have a "Man Crush" for Dell - I have been here quite some time, and I am sure Dell is more than capable of defending himself if needs be. Funny - in all the posts I have seen about this issue (and there have been many), I do not recall seeing Dell himself fanning the flames...

Personally - I believe still that it takes all kinds of personalities to address all the issues that arise from working on, and keeping these great machines running. These types of posts DO NOT address any of this - UNDERSTAND? (sorry - I couldn't resist) Bash away on me if you want - I don't care either.

Hey - I saw 2 8Ns hiding back off the road on my way to Palo Duro canyon (yes, I was swerving and making my wife very nervous) - they are everywhere! Now - isn't that better?

I have my diploma.

But I have a lot of smart friends that don't, and a lot of stupid friends that do.

AND yes, I/WE should have ignored the troll.

(but we didn't)

LMAO!!

Say - since we are already taking up bandwidth and server space on off topic issues - you ever try a Spanish Peaks Brewery Black Dog Ale? I found some in Amarillo and it was purty darn good. Luckily I couldn't stand dial up speeds, or I would have logged on last night as Dan...Drunk LOL

Hey, wouldn't it be nice if we all liked only vanilla ice cream, and all talked in exactly the same dialect, and could understand every word and nuance, and could spell with perfect "Webster dictionary" spelling. And then in our off hours, we all drank only the same beer, or the same brand of coffee, liked our fried eggs only sunny side up, and we all painted our tractors exactly the same shade of red and gray, and all had exactly the same educational background. NOT!!!

I come to this board daily to read the discussions from many points of view. I truely enjoy the variety, and cherish the people who bring us that variety.

So DO NOT count me in on your rant over the actions, responses, and differences of our many members.

Me thinks winter has been too long, and some of us are beginning to show signs of possible carnivorous ancestors. Check your family tree.- said with a wry smile.

Did he embarrass you in some way or the other?

Ifn you don't like reading what he has to say, don't, pass right on over it.

I really get a kick out of some of his posts.

I know for a fact he ain't always right, and NEITHER am I, so what, but I DO like his company.

He has some VERY useful information in his posts, I am not qualified to speak on yours, as I haven't researched yours yet (but I probably will now). The last 2 or so I have seen from you are like an old lady on the PMS stuff.

I MISSED Dells posts when he was away.

I bet if this site had a poll topic, you would see that you are a minority when it comes to yer thoughts on Dell's posts.

I grew up in a different world than we live in today.

Lots of the folks here take me back to that time quite often, in one way or another, for one reason or another.

Most of the time I understand exactly where Dell is coming from, and have known folks in real life just like he comes across on here.

Take a chill pill...
