Ann: Quarterly Activities Report - September 2018, page-33

Your comment, "Eventually mods put a stop to the references to the purpose built website", was directed at MS.  My comment simply added the context for anyone reading who may have misinterpreted your comments at being solely directed at Matt, as would be easy to do based on Rameez' post and your subsequent comment.

"As for eyeballing, people say shocking things to each other online that they wouldn't in real life. As you well know"  -  Yep, I'm well aware.  But know this, I've never said anything on this forum that I wouldn't say to anyone here in person.  I don't know if it's the Texan in me, but social filters aren't my strong point, online or otherwise.

Shouting drinks again...  Only the old-timers will even get that reference and fewer less will share your opinion.  I valued the gents opinion because of his experience and knowledge of the market.  2 beers does not win friendships, it buys attention.  It's why vendors all over the world host events.

Your opinion of GC has changed so dramatically over the years.  I realise hindsight is 20/20, but you make the guy out to be a villain these days.  I may not agree with all of the decisions he's made, but I've never doubted his good intent for ADO.  You seem to.

I don't think you're entirely negative, just a broken record (ie. bringing up drinks bought for a small group from 4 years ago that you perceive as somehow deceptive).  

Glad to hear your still optimistic, though.  That's very positive of you.  And to be clear, no one has the power to put you in a corner unless you allow it.  It's very much a victim mentality to think otherwise, and you've never really struck me that way.  Hope all is ok with you.
