Ron can be tough to deal with and he and I have had our disagreements (actually just disagreement, singlular, and it was worked out years ago) but in working around, with and for Ron for almost 13 years, I have to give credit where credit it due. He's smart, he watches trends, and he knows when to pass things off to those who know more about something that he does.
Is he a God, internet or otherwise? Certainly not. But I do believe he's worked hard and long enough to deserve respect w/in the industry.
Plus, the battles between Ron and Serge are legendary - boards probably wouldn't be as popular as they are now w/o those two ;)

Huh? I think the only people rebilling "as much as possible" were the people that were unethical and just because there were a lot of unethical people doing stuff like that then did not make it "ok". Those people gave the industry a bad name and screwed processing up beyond belief for the rest of everyone else.
Why people and companies like that are revered is beyond me. Why someone that made their dollars like that should be respected is a complete mystery to me. No offense but anyone that thinks that is acceptable if you can get away with it is someone that raises serious trust issues for me.
Don't include us in that "what everyone was doing". We are not ok with it now or then or anytime in the future.
