Carl,
While we obviously don't agree on everything (I wouldn't trust anyone who always agreed with me anyway) - it certainly is refreshing to have a discussion on an adult level sticking to relevant arguments vice personal attacks, which I see far to often on this forum, but not necessarily this thread.
As I have said many times before - there is nothing wrong with disagreement on this board, in fact I generally think it adds to the discussion.
I do however, agree wholeheartedly with you that it is results that matter -
Hopefully DAL will start getting better results - heck I think the "Law of averages" is even on our side - we (DAL) can't always screw up - can we?
