Gordon-One of the dogs I rescued with a broken leg now has 8 cute little pups. Another little Golden Retriver I rescued stays right at my feet in the shop to remind me to stay busy. Beleive it or not these animals help me keep calm when I get a lot of pressure from people wanting things. I spend a lot more time taking care of animals than I do playing Steel. Ed

On the subject of companies (competitors) working with each other, I work for New United Motor Mfg, which is a joint company formed by Toyota and General Motors. The plant is actually run by Toyota and they use what is called the Toyota Production System to manufacture cars and trucks. What is interesting,is that they open their plant to other companies (competitors and different industries) to come study this production system. Last week we had a visit from Chrysler for a study. So, there is probably a lot more of this cooperation between competitors than one would realize.

I,ve been reading this forum for some time now.I have noticed a lot of times,and especially in this thread,some of you guys talk about a whole lot of NOTHING.And do NOTHING to futher the steel guitar as a whole.It seems that alot of the steel players or whoever is replying to alot of these post,are so unhappy that they want everyone alse to feel their pain.Why don,t you just stay at home and play your steel or whatever you play if anything.It is so much crap sometimes on this forum.

<SMALL>I am not some religious nut </SMALL>
......You may not be religious but the rest of that statements stands true!

I took the liberty to do a search on all your posts made to date and found nearly ALL of a hostile, negative nature that makes little if any sense. Are you serious or were you drunk when you posted these? Either way, you obviously thought you were taking your best shot at whomever or whatever but settle back and lets see just how far you and your attitude gets with this bunch. How does SECOND PLACE sound?

Nope!
<SMALL>Someone needs to wake you up</SMALL>
We're not the ones asleep!
<SMALL>I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE THE LAST PERSON TO LET ME DOWN</SMALL>
I'm doing a fairly good job of it now!

......Gordon, I really think there is hope for you. Your attitude stinks but there seems to be some substance behind that. Given the chance, we can be some of the nicest, funniest, hard headedest (I invented that word!) folk you would want to meet. What I'm really trying to say is that I'm the asshole of the forum and I don't need any outside help to get the job done. Just ask Harry! Lighten up and come enjoy the fun. We are!

Might as well just go on over to Bobbe's forum if we're just going to have a urination contest here. I used to come here for helpful insight and intelligent discussion, but now it's all personal attacks and profanity.

Ouch! You folks should know better than this. There's no need to throw insults around. I'm closing this topic.
