From a newbie point of view....
please excuse me if I'm getting senti-fuckin-mental, but GG -you and the people who post here are really an inspiration to those of us who are newbies looking for a place to go. I came to this board because it seems to be one of the few greatly respected ones in the biz...most of the people here are friendly, knowledgeable and willing to share their expertise with all of us. I think every business has its share of people who want to make a buck by getting around the rules, and this is no different, except that when you are at the top, yours are the rules everyone tries to break.
Boards like this (& the people who are here to help and learn) are what is going to make this industry better...slowly but surely weeding out others that are not serious or that are looking to cheat. We need people like you who speak out with rules & boards so that the biz doesn't just turn into a raging free-for-all, no good for anyone, including the surfers.
I know I can come here and get honest answers & information, that you are tough (here & on LOR) but fair, & if I get a site listed on LOR then I know I did ok and can feel good about it.
I'm sure you don't get told this often enough...GG you really are a great mentor to a lot of us & it would be a real shame to lose you or this board.
thanks for letting me get my 2cents in.
