As most of you know sometimes people say things that do not come out the way the mean. I have known Richard Rendos for years now and can tell you he did not mean it the way he wrote it. The guy is Extremly knowledgeable and compasionate about our hobby but sometimes has a strange way of putting things. I have learned alot from him and he helps me all the time.
Like I said, he did not mean it the way it sounded.
If he did than I don't know him anymore
As far as people on the board being rude. Well, I too have seen some things that I did not like but I just ignore them and don't let the small stuff bother me. If I did, My blood pressure would be higher than it already is.
P.S. Whatever that is in the PIC is really cool.
