In Response To: Re: 99% Eh ??? (Arthur)

: To say that 99% of the value of this BBS came from GR is 100% BS.

In my own experience, this has been true. I realize that everyone gets something different, but in learning to use satin glass, the guidance provided by GR was quite helpful. I've completed my kayak now and looking back, I cannot think of any other tips or information that I was able to make use of. Perhaps I should have said 100%, because I also found some entertainmant from reading the responses to GR, and how upset people become when someone challenges their thinking. Was he rude, crude and caustic in some of his remarks? Sure. He wouldn't do it if people would simply ignore that part of what he says. It's just the price he has decided to charge for what I consider valuable information. That's his decision, and I respect his right to do that. Others have shared that view with me, but only privately.
