I want JB back

[CaptB]

Hi all,

JB and I have been friends for many years (even convinced him to "finally" propose to his wonderful wife and attended their wedding in Moscow (many) years ago. I just talked to him last week. He gets tired of wading through alot bs and useless post to find the "few" who are willing to be helped. I hav'nt been here for some months myself.......and probaly for similar reasons. I hate to sound like a "geezer" here......but back on the old RWG......there were only a few hundred mostly "serious" folks gathering together for a common purpose. No polls about "Do you prefer butts....or boobs ?".........."Is breast size important ?"..........."I am 77 years old......will an 18 love me for who I am ?".........etc.....etc.....etc..... There are the know-it alls who have spent $10,000 US......and never met an FSU woman yet.......or set foot on foreign soil. JB is a crusty old fart......I have always reprimanded him for maybe getting a little too personal (even if the receiver of his wrath......more than likely was deserving). I don't blame Dan for giving him the boot.......you have to behave.......at least to "some" degree......to maintain order on a forum. When I do (occaisionally) come back.......it is with a sense of obligation to "pay back" and help....as I was helped many years ago. Now there are thousands of members.....with a much, much greater proportion of "wannabees".........and kids living Mom and Dads basement........and the just plain "clueless". I see......after doing alot of digging........that there may be about as many of the "serious" left......as on the old RWG board.......that was much...much......smaller. I don't have all the answers.......but I do have a good marriage.....and some experience. I will always be poking around for anyone looking for a little help. Maybe when the wife and I go down to Corpus to visit JB & Etna this Fall.......I am sure I can coax him with a little cognac......and a good cigar.......to make an appearence.......or seven........back on the board. He is probably fishing with his wife on the Bay.......a much more worthwhile endeavor......than attacking some hapless....clueless........."basement liver".

I/O,

G,day mate. Shrimp on the barbie.......and Fosters for dinner (still have those damn Paul Hogan commercials in my head). Did you tie the knot???? Your profile says "married" now.
Boy.......I have been away for awhile. Contratulations !

Capt!!!!!
I was thinking of you when I heard there were fires near Grayling.  Hope all is OK with you.  (Flipping back and forth between Tigers and Pistons game as I type this)  Just FYI, jb was not banned by Dan.  jb's exile is self imposed.  I (like anyone with any sense) miss his posts here.

Yeah did that.

Ken,

Yes ............I was aware that his status was "self-inflicted". They have the fires under control in Grayling.......about 1100 acres lost. Small potatoes compared to fires in the UP in the late 90's.

jb is gone?

I must point out that if we are talking about the jb I exchanged words with, its
not JB, it's jb. He pointed that out to me one day. I don't pop in enough to know
if someone is gone or not, but jb always had interesting thoughts.

I respect the way that long-timers in this area have stuck around to offer their
advice. Kenc is the other guy that's been around a while. I have been in total
disagreements with both of them, but, I think either them or me have calmed
a bit. Of course, I normally enjoy seeing a post from either one of them that I
disagree with to make a challenge. They are both experienced in this endeavor
and have good advice. I would hope that jb would not stay away as he takes
the time to help people who are asking for advice. Kenc does the same.
