Those ex eastern and cal "gummers" as you refer have done more for this industry and have been hammered as hard as any group.
There's always gotta be someone who misses the point...maybe we should build a thread labeled "come here to see if yours it bigger." I'm just trying to figure out how you knew EXACTLY the "ones" I'm referring to because I was generalizing about a group of few in the baby boomer generation who are and have always been about them and that it's up to us to stop the spread of their IGM infection...unless you like the burning sensation when you pee.
