Well said Joe тАУ my sentiments exactly.
I find it hard to believe that any regular poster here would not understand the nature of a447тАЩs visits to Thailand.
I also donтАЩt think a447 had anything to apologise for. I find his topics/posts informative and entertaining. And judging by the large number of hits his topics generate they also create a great deal of interest on this forum.
And lastly, to a447, I pass on a piece of advice given to me by one of the best bosses I ever had, and that is - donтАЩt let the bas*ards grind you down!
