As we continue to split hairs... Understand that this is not what would eloquently be described as a "pissing contest"
1) I have read a few times the first thread you joined on about the Black Salties and while you allude to being involved you do not say that you have a professional affiliation with B.S.
2) That is there for a reason
3) No PM - did you send an email? Possible, the only thing I get more of than PMs (1500 in a few months at last count) is email which is about 400 per day. Some get lost, filtered, and whatever.
4) The quotes are not sarcastic, like i sad in PM and on the thread, if your background is what it is and your posts certainly indicate that then you are probably who you say you are.
6) DEM has significant problems, many of which are a result of underfunding. I sure as hell don't always agree with them but I do respect a lot of them of more often than not TRYING to do a decent job. Want a more accurate accounting and management and resource driven DEM? Support them for more funding.
7) Stickies for this stickies for that - not enough room for the discussion if we sticky to death. It is pretty clear in the registration part, helps to actually read it though.
addendums ad nauseum
Yes, some was borderline and for the most part, I though informative, but I do need to look through it with the lense that you have a vested interest which does introduce some bias into your statements. Again, I thought it was knowledgeable and good argument (though I don't
always agree)... Also understand that when a lot of people hard spam things get ugly and many members, understandably, watch with a suspicious eye...
As for your PM, I replied to your PM, the thread I replied to in the thread. I sent you another PM btw...
So can we call this topic and tit for tat done? I need to do my real job now...
Thanks,
John
