undeserved title

Well, this will be my 1000th post. which means the title change to "guru" This is totally underserved, guru implies a certain knowledge base.
I have pretty much achieved this status not on my knowledge base but by simply being a loud-mouthed, egostistical, opinionated windbag that has something to say about most any topic and thinks his opinion might count for something.

Does this bit of introspection mean that I might amend my evil ways???
not a chance! Face it fellas, now I can make my loud-mouthed, egotistical, opinionated windbag postings from the lofty "guru" status.

WOOHOOO!!!

Bobby

Bobby -

I think the self-depricating analysis of your verbosity is undeniably true. I, for one, appreciate it. I have learned a great deal from you.

Of course, I have no taste or smarts...and I'm a Guru. Go figure!
