Re:Road Star Guru? 2 Years, 3 Months ago  

A good portion of my knowledge comes from Joel as well. A lot of info I pass has come from him.

And thank you! I have read lots of threads over the past few months and know that your answers are well respected around here. Thanks for that Erbman and all the others who freely share knowledge.

Appreciate the nominate, but pass. I've been wrong in the past and I'm sure I will be wrong in the future. There are many on here that way surpass my knowledge, and the clinic members as a whole, I don't think there would ever be a issue that we can't figure out by team work.

Now Jona on the other hand.............well........thats another story. LOL
Sorry Jona, just had to.

Re:Road Star Guru? 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
I have gotten some great advice from the Clinic and I thank you all for it. I just wanted to meet the man in Columbus I only live 20 miles away. I tend to learn more when I can see what others are doing and can ask them questions. Thanks for all of your help. Buck
