I just can't leave I started here and will be here till the end. I just strongly felt like that giving dave w a position of control is just a bad move for us as a whole.

Gary runs the day to day ops here, the members really control it ! Dave is not coming back to tell anyone what to do, or how to do it.

He is not a moderator, only Gary, Larry, and myself, have those powers. So, not to "worry" about Dave "doing anything" to anyone here.

Besides, everything that can be done to anyone on here, (banning, or deletion) can easily be seen, and quickly undone.

There is just no way any person of power on this forum can escape a paper trail.

Dave is a life long roof cleaner, like my self, who loved his trade. In fact, like myself, he is dying, from practicing the trade he loved so much. Both Dave and I have whiffed in one lungfull of sodium hypochlorite too many, and now we both are paying for it.

Both Dave and I have advanced COPD from this chit. Some days, we can both barely breathe!

Roof Cleaning was Dave's whole life, his reason for existence. I feel he was "punished enough" for something he may, or may not have done.

Let those of us w/o any Sin, judge him.

I just thought, that since Dave may be on his last years on this Earth, it would be "mighty white" of me to allow him back to the roof cleaning world he loved so much, on a forum he worked so hard with me to build ?

Make Fun all you guys want, about Dave's long winded posts, but guess what ? They were all roof cleaning related, and full of fresh content. In fact, many of Dave's long winded posts formed the foundation stones of the forums high SEO, that we all enjoy today.

I am not sure if any of you have seen the pictures of Dave in the Hospital, wired up to machines, and basically on his Deathbed, but IF you like, I will post them for you.

Guys, we all know how to be mean to people. And I have done more really bad chit, in a past life, then I am free to admit.

But, I guess in my old age, I have discovered a new way to live, a way of life based around forgiveness, and compassion for others.

One day, at a time.

I have been focusing on snow plowing in mountain top PA 18707 . We have had some nice leads coming in. Also been working on my MUST DO list. LOL got to promo post wherever you can.

Glad to see we are moving collectively in the right direction.

No Chit! I had NO earthly IDEA just how much I would miss the guys, until they were gone disbelief

Hey, it's winter up North. The shift has come to working 7 days a week, to having no work (and no money) coming in.

Change SUCKS!

It has stressed members of our family out, and that, coupled with some weird technical glitches of the forum, and Dave's re appearance, triggered a windstorm. But, like family usually does, we have worked through all of it now.

LOL, one day, when we are all rich, old, and retired, we can fondly remember(and laugh about)"The Winter Of 2012" biggrin

In reality, this is an exciting time! We have a brand new, state of the art forum coming! A Forum with so many features, it will blow minds!

WE will load that new forum down with gallery pictures, your own Blogs, and enough promotional posts, so it will have enough SEO by the summer to crack your local search results.

The New Forum will have Facebook Login, so we will all use our Facebook Company Pages as our log in's. This will provide an automatic link right to your Facebook Business Page!

As I told ED today, each user will have their own personal gallery, that can be set up with many sets of pictures (and videos), aimed at each area you service!

The Facebook Login will make registration on your new forum a breeze! This will greatly increase traffic, and that will greatly increase SEO!

Right now, Bob and Steve from UglyShingles are working on the new forum! Steve is searching for what are called "SKINS" that determine the overall looks of the new forum.

Stay Tuned!

I have not had much time to come here lately but I was astonished at what was taking place. I am glad that this was resolved so quicklyand that everyone is back. I do not have time for drama, but I like hearing from my friends.

May 2013 be better for RCIA as a whole.

Hey Ed;

Thanks for the apology, but could you please go on PWI and make the same statement. Even though they "never" ban anybody (BS) I can't get in and after 4 emails they still won't send me the info on how to re-activate my account.

Personally I don't really care what most of those people think about me, but I do have a little honor left.

Thanks

Okay, boys...

The software for the new forum is currently uploading to the server. Once it is uploaded, it will be installed and setup. I'm hoping to have it all up and running by Friday. Of course, it will require various tweaks that we can do over time.

Thank you for your patience...

It will be Marcus.

There was MAJOR Drama here recently, and we all worked through the problems, and resolved them quickly. Itt COULD have been a truly disastrous situation (the permanent loss of several of our family members)!

The fact we did quickly work through it, speaks volumes for the bond we all share for one another, on our Forum!

And Marcus, I have not forgoten to look for a 1 inch air diapraghm roof cleaning pump for you. Please get with Gary, and ask him for the link to the guy he gets his pumps from. This Man is as honest as the day is long that Gary knows! He rebuilds and then sells fully tested and guaranteed pumps at very very low prices! Be SURE and have me look at the pump, before you buy anything Buddy. I will NOT let you make a mistake.

You and anyone else reading this need to be aware (if you are not already), that your 100 dollar RCIA membership INCLUDES unlimited telephone help from me, if,when, and anytime you need it.

Just pick up the GD Telephone and call me (just do not wake me up) from 10 am till 11 pm Florida time, 7 days a week!
