You may now return to your cardboard cans and plastic signs.

WOW!! Really Steve?? Where did that comment come from??

Wow!! That is just plain awesome!! Very cool sign!!

"You may now return to your cardboard cans and plastic signs."

Wow!????
Last person I remember making comments like that was;....well I'll just say the words "showcase 8500"

Another gem from Steve:

"As a parting matter, I don't think the people who run this site have much integrity either or at least don't appreciate the concept of free and open speech."

And this one:

"You guys can deceive yourselves further in the belief that this site is useful. Perhaps it is to you. To me, it's a third-rate version of the Kiwanis Club of Altus, Okla."

It seems that Steve doesn't understand that there is no such thing as free speech on an internet forum. Every forum I've ever seen has a user agreement that spells out the limits of free speech that the user has to agree to before they are allowed to post.

It also seems Steve found this site useful for selling his sign but if he's really as dissatisfied with this site perhaps it would be best for everyone if he were no longer a member.

...sounds about right...

1. I didn't sell the sign off of this site.
2. This is my exercise of free speech and in no way was restricted by the user agreement.
3. Getting thrown off of Old Gas would be like being thrown out of the Kiwanis Club in Altus, Okla.
4. And now, back to your cardboard cans and plastic signs.

what a piece of work!!!
