Subject: RE:who do you learn from?
Billy,

Ditto's and,

The fact that George does invest all this time [many years] and
tremendous energy trying to share solid knowledge based on
experience with confrontational Morons is the "Only" tangible
evidence there may be something askew with George's mental
health... ;-)  I believe the term is "Obsessive Compulsive
Behavior."

This is a phenomenal task most here could not come anywhere close
to sustaining for the duration he has.  Actually, if you consider
his investment in comparison to how he's inundated with BS from
the gallery...

Is it possible George gets a "Bad Rap" about not being a cuddly,
gentler, kinder, caring individual?

George's proactive actions over the past several years would seem
to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt to a sensible person that
he truly does care about "Others" learning how to Do-It-Right and
Not-DIE!

WHO ELSE ON THIS LIST HAS DEMONSTRATED SUCH DEDICATION?  ANSWER ~
NONE!!!

To the  "Gallery," why not try taking a seat, pull the cotton out
of your ears, and listen to the man and what he says for awhile ~
it might save you miserable life someday ~ You may never
appreciate that fact, but surely your family and friends will
unless you genuinely "Are" some kind of huge asshole and have
neither.

If only each of you could ask that question of the "Hall of Shame
Recipients" to date...  What would they say to you NOW!

Pay attention and maybe then the language and behavior will move
more towards your likes.

Ignoring and/or challenging George's experience and knowledge
says volumes more about one's own inadequacies than it ever will
his.  That Is A Huge Fact!

Did_You_Understand_That_MJB?

My .02 cents worth stepping down from the soap box...

Why should they? We're lucky people like George spend any time
at all in this forum. He doesn't get paid for it. And there's
not a lot of satisfaction in fixing up other people's mistakes.

He runs the world's biggest, safest, deep exploration team and
passes on the learnings to those here who aren't too far up
their own assholes to take the lessons.

Read that again: The World's Biggest, Safest, Deep Exploration
Team.

And for his trouble, he has to take shit from close-call
artists like JT and insanely jealous know-nothing do-nothings
like Mike Black.
