Big difference between contributing to the forum, which most do with their
own strengths, and keeping RLB's comments in line with where he really
stands in the industry. Alot of what goes on is that some feel a need to
warn newbies about RLB's past and his business ethics. Others have an on
going problem with his off line antics, which sound rather vicious, if true.
Others have a problem with his holier-than-thou attitude about **every**
subject matter. Some have problems with his perpetual need to disagree or
pick apart every other contribution other than his own. And then there are
some that don't give a rat's bASS about him and do it for kicks and giggles.

That isn't true. When he is responding with worthwhile information it is

from his personal experience, that people get upset because some know
better.

That won't happen as long as there is disruption stemming from the actions
of some of the participants. That is what happens in an open forum.

And good luck with your project. Don't go away because of the above. You'll
find spotted help here. Just pick and choose what is helpful and what is
playground joisting.
