I thought your efforts to educate him were well placed, if he were salvageable. Crip could have used the work, too.

I didn't see too much gray area in what the TS told him on his other thread.

Clearly, this was another kid who preferred talking to listening and posting to reading.

After I took the time to write a nice welcome post on the Intro thread with some helpful advice for him and the other new members.

Texas would have been well served by the cartoon that chance put up of little Billy.

Kids, let this be a lesson on posting here.
