Well said CJ but your also old school like many of us are.

FM, has done alot for the business, and even if he is sailing another course, you cannot take away all the contribution this man brought to this industry that is viable today.

Ya either loved him or hated him. He has a brilliant business mind and a memory of an elephant, he can pull emails from 9 years ago in about 30 seconds and quote something you said with total proof.

Could he crush somebody now? Nah, I do not believe that. His connections via business deals gave him the power thru alliances to do whatever he had to do, whether it be a good thing or not.

At one time, it was believed the only way to leave CE was in a body bag, and we all know in these times, its all love and well wishes.

Times have changed, I do not believe CE has the influence and wing span it once had. There are so many sponsors now, and webmasters are very pleased with all the choices. No one sponsor has the power to ruin a webmaster easily like in the old times.

But FM in the old days and the new CE will always protect their trademarks and copyrights, and will knock you out of the ballpark if you try to disparage them, steal from them, or bring them harm.

There is no way FM or anyone would crush a webmaster for opinion oppositions, actually at one time FM liked a good piss fought with facts...he chooses his battles, and we all know when he starts, he is relentless....I miss that side of FM and I miss him on the boards. We had some great pee's.

I could still piss with FM, perhaps one day he will surprise us all, and drop by Oprano and fill the bucket.

WHo knows where he is and what he does, but he is not a man to fear unless you are with a deathwish and fuck with the things I noted above.

I mean, once he left the "house" which had to be really hard to do because he likes to fly the plane, I would think he could careless about boards....
