Vinny, you just have to know the proper people on CSR. Anymore it's filled with rbs and people who don't know what they are talking about. But then again you can easily say that about any other sites that have been up for awhile I suppose.

On the subject of CSR, a lot of the people who post are simply not the kind of people I want to associate myself with. It doesn't apopear that they want me around either, which really is fine by me. I'm willing to discuss it with whoever, but not in this thread. Feel free to start a new thread or something, I don't really care.

But yeah if anyone FOR SURE wants to ride up there with me, let me know. I'd like to email this guy by the end of the week to confirm.
