Well Saddam, anybody can talk with HT during normal office hours if he's not busy. He'd probably even talk to you.

I give good whiskey to lots of my friends, too. Folks that I respect, folks that I owe favors to, folks that I like a lot. HT is one of many.. for all of those reasons, he qualifies.
Thank you for the "cheerleader" award; I'll put it on my mantle! If "asskissing" is asking people to show a little respect and consideration for others... I guess I are one, eh?
I'll probably never be able to be a disrespectful jerk towards people that are working their bellybutton off to provide entertainment for others. I'll have to leave that to other folks.. folks like you I guess.

Very manly of you to start a new BBS account for your diatribes. It certainly gains my respect and attention when a detractor doesn't have the brass to say what he thinks unless he hides behind a false persona.

Have a very nice day!
