A thought, there, Bro., you might consider...............if you don't agree with it, just say so. There's no need to be nasty about it..........
You might want to post your appeal separate from your "I'm better than you in the Sweet Spot b\c I have all this money & you don't" or"FC is SOOOOO icky-poo" postings.
Now understand this, please, your appeal is a decent thing to do and worthy of consideration. I really don't like GAR, but those people who work there I'm sure need their jobs and the icome from it just like people who work in rests. I do like. So your appeal's good.
It's just that putting it in the same post as the "sweet spot" and "icky-POO FC" tends to take away from it. You could post it under your reg. I.D. or even a sock puppet version of it, like JdotPdotMorgenthau or something like that. Whatever.
I'd help 'em out except I got my own employees to help out. We actually have a fund to deal w/this, so as long as it don't last all summer, we oghtta' be OK. WE're running on a skeleton crew, but we're rotating emps. in & out and mostly making up the diff. with this fund. it's a long story & I won't go into it here, but it's something the people who sold us the joint started long ago & it turned out to be a good idea to keep it up all this time.
just a thought.
