Thank you for making the point well. 100% of the reason I come here boils down
to entertainment, since I don't make any money at it and no one forces me to do
it. Steve and Fernando are a big part of what make this forum worth having, I
believe they attract a lot of the return visitors. The rules are the rules but
this is not a court of law; and a little looking the other way once in a while
is OK by me if no one gets hurt. For me, I'm capable of ignoring the occasional
off-topic post with no complaints. I realize not everyone is just like me, but
in the big picture, I would say these two jokers contribute positively to the
forum, and so I'd like to have them around.

Cheers to all and maybe some should take this toast literally Regards,

Chuck
