Thanks for splitting this thread Troy.
As I stated earlier, I don't believe Greg's intention was to cause division, but he did mention Westerner and deep pockets didn't he? I think he meant well, but struck a nerve amongst a few people on a hot issue that needs to be addressed. I called it to attention after reading what he had wrote. There's talk of hurting Greg's score and such, but I have to ask how many people here didn't congratulate Harris on his recent Westerner win? How about his red smokey? 18 galley? Rather as I said earlier I keep hearing terms like 'deep pockets' and 'Pay out you/my ass' and so on. Maybe we all need to post how much we all keep in our bank accounts, how big of a house we live in, what kind of car we drive and what kind of shoes we wear? If Steve had not won the grills we may never have had the chance to get such a good look at them. I for one am thankful for that.
Here's what I know about Greg, he has a nice home, he's a hard worker and he has a nice grill collection. We have exchanged many emails in the past and I can say it would be out of his character to say anything demeaning purposely. I would however like to hear what he has to say himself and wouldn't be surprised if he didn't disagree with some of the comments from people jumping to his defense.
Saxart, I also read your last post at the original thread, I would like to hear more from you. I'm also hoping Steve will have something to say.
I don't see this as a contest, but rather an opportunity to voice our opinions and try and settle some differences in opinions. I would like to see all of us get along and not be divided, rather move ahead and grow together not harboring any ill will or jealousy toward one another. Even if we can't find resolution maybe we can at least find common ground and be respectful of others scores.
Thanks,
