I am glad I am married to the one I've got. No discussion necessary.

Good post, hockey.

Uh, I've done no such thing. I've been saying for some months now that it will be the bottom half of the list that will save us by holding firm on scope. Maybe you can clip the post where you think I've said such a thing.

Yeah. I just wanted to take a look. Hopefully, it's not what it seems.

Good job Hockey.... Man you you to apologize and says it something about your character. I apologize for the direct hit and less than eloquent rebuke.

Guys don't normally talk about it at work, but our military families have paid a heavy price for our country. We all have friends that didn't make it back home....

Respectfully,

TC

That is a classy apology Hockey, thank you. We can disagree on the TA but when the votes over we will move forward as a group regardless of the outcome.

You are consistently wrong, Carl. I do have an argument with you, and you've made it personal. Remember this post?

That comment was in reference to a post where I answered whether or not the MEC was provided costing data. You said I was lying. That's personal, and you crossed a line. I'm calling you out. For reference, here's the post where I answered that the reps had been briefed:

My response:

Your ninja act grows tiresome, geriatric one. Read for comprehension in the future, and stay on topic. Attacking integrity on an anonymous webboard? You're quite the fighter, aren't you... Keyboard warrior.

I'm a Carl fan, but this may have been the post Hockeypilot was thinking of:
