For the record I have conversed with Al on these forums. He has many good qualities for sure. One is the fact that he puts his name and his face out there for all to see. He doesn't hide behind a nom de plume for example.
I didn't say he isn't a nice guy or that he does his dd. All of these things may be true. I have heard that those who meet him like him. I'm not sayig that either.
It doesn't matter to me if he touches everyone's heart on the forum, his daily post can be replaced by a post from any number of you guys and your post would probably be more accurate and ind depth. You would not run away from questions.
As I said I would rather read any of your posts than 1 from Al. Sorry but thats the way I see it.
