He didn't add the part about journalists after the fact. He added his question to Will after the fact. That's the wonderful things about opinions, everyone is allowed to have them, even if others disagree with them, and even if their conclusions are incorrect, as yours is above.

Not sure why it matters in the context of this thread, but both, actually.

You assume he did not. I make no such assumption. Xiggi and OVM, yes. LDB, no. I am, and have been called, ignorant about many things. You can fix ignorant.

I absolutely did not deny saying that in my response. What I denied was making a statement about the things NightDriver accused me of saying. How he reached those conclusions based on a single sentence is miraculous, and, as I pointed out, wrong. I also denied that my statement was casual or...

Yeah, it's one I've been following for years. Back in 2003 when that one cow in Washington State (which came in from Canada) was diagnosed with Mad Cow Disease, China cut off all US beef imports. It's been no secret that China has wanted to export chicken to the U.S. in exchange for reopening...

You can call it low standards if you like, but the simple fact is that real, genuine expediters have a much longer leash in the Soapbox than do those who aren't expediters. The overwhelming bulk of the trouble to be found in the Soapbox originated from non-expediters. Deal with it. As for the...

I dunno. Doesn't really violate the Code of Conduct. The thread title I'd quoting Shakespeare, and the rest of it is nonsensical, since we really don't have any actual journalists anymore.

A friend just got an HP at Walmart, the 6GB 750 GB HD. HP Refurbished Sparkling Black 17.3" Pavilion g7-2247us Laptop PC with Intel Core i3-3110M Processor, 6GB Memory, 750GB Hard Drive and Windows 8: Back to School : Walmart.com It's not a barn burner, but it's a lot of bang for the bucks...

Sometimes you just need to pick the exact word needed. :D

Nothing that I can think of. Why do you ask? Same here, but none of that has anything to do with the subjects of the article, how they live their lives, nor why the article was written and published. No, I really can't articulate my apparent casual and cavalier claim, because I'm neither casual...

Cite the reference where he said it and I'll concede. But if he said it, he was quoting Maistre. Maistre's 1811 letter predates Lincoln's public speaking engagements by a considerable number of years, as Lincoln was born only two years before Maistre's letter.

Aahhh, finally, the femininization of the American male is complete.

Most people who are stuck in Tulsa go to, you know, Dallas.

“Every nation [or ‘country’] has the government it deserves,” or some other variant — is often wrongly attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville and/or Abraham Lincoln. They never said it. Joseph de Maistre did, but what he meant by it is probably different than what most people think. Maistre was a...

Trumpet. Classical and jazz. The classical wasn't all that loud, but the jazz was, since most of it was spent playing in large jazz bands (Big Bands) and jazz-rock and horn bands (think, BS&T, the Ides of march, Chicago, Tower of Power, etc.).

Expediting tends to be slow on the weekends, especially for vans and Sprinters, so getting stuck anywhere over the weekend isn't unusual. It's typical. Mondays can also at times be very slow, so it shouldn't be a surprise when you sit someplace over the weekend extending until Tuesday. Not that...

Interesting. With the laptop speakers I couldn't hear squat even at 40 Hz (they're laptop speakers). But with earplugs in I could hear 20 Hz with no problems. My high end hearing is shot, though, as it quit at around 6,500 Hz. Too many years playing in loud bands. Been shot for a while now.

Arguably the toughest transition for anyone coming into expediting is the truck driver who comes from the general trucking sector. They think with their gobs of experience in trucking that expediting is a piece of cake because they think general trucking and expediting is more or less the...

You didn't see it because I forgot to put it there. :) It's there now, though.

I'm thinking that, and it's certainly a possible indication of just how out of touch the representation is with their constituents.
