MAN!  Some of you guys have too much time on your hands..hehe.

As to HT's response... please guys...  in this game/bbs system, sarcasm IS the norm not the exception.  Though his response MAY have been written in a reactionary, sarcastic way.. take it for just that!  We all do it!  And HT is human too....  If there was a true problem with this post, the string would already be closed.  I am as sarcastic (OK, OK!! more than most!) as the next guy and always ready for some good verbal exchanges in the game, but I never let it fester...  Lighten up... Get back to work!! (hehe, I'm self-employed)..  finish the honey-do list and go play!

LOL miniD thats too funny. But we have had the name Freebird$ since Air Warrior back in 1996. That is when our squad was originaly formed. Maybe they copied us :D

Thanks for the reply though, and the interesting story. How long did they get away with it?      FBRaptor

Acutally... freebirds would have came out around the same time.  "Named after" is a bad way to say it... "share the same name" would be more apropriate.  But now... when there's a freebirds link, the apearance of something the community is more familiar with pops into mind.

I'm guessing that mia will be getting unlucky.  Anyone who posts to the AH BB looking for love life advice aint gonna get very far, for a few different reasons.  :)

Having stood next to MiniD at a public restroom I can assure you- his name has nothing to do with little cars. ;)

Just in case anyone is confused by golfer saying this

"First off, I hold a position with a top insurance company as a Claims Associate (adjuster) formerly a Claims Service Representative and Trainer."

I am  Adjuster who flies MA SEA etc and am in no way associated with Golfer or his comments good or bad.

Just didnt want to get tarred with the same brush if people knew the name and made an assumption :D
