Please, we are the ones laughing. I find it amusing what people do without realizing their impact on others or just do things to disrupt others who actually get off their fat asses and do something.

I think the part in bold says everything. :thumbup:

I had to read this a few times.  As I have never heard of this app, or have any apps.  Play nice boys...

People that make honest mistakes apologize, understand and move on. Not get upset, blast people and/or encourage others to do the same.

I don't apologize when I'm told by someone else to do it. It's meaningless to me.  Nothing pisses me off more than someone telling me how I'm supposed to feel. It's a facking bike app...it's like Angry Birds...who gives a flying fack what I do with it. Honest mistake, yes it was. Apology; cold. day. in. hell.

Obviously, there should be a registration process, so that only the right people are allowed to use it.

Good comparison with the angry birds. An app shouldn't so deeply affect anyones life......

I was taught to not walk across people's lawn even if it was shorter.
When I go snowshoeing I won't walk on the x-skier tracks.
I don't go on wine tasting apps and enter false scores.

I'm not much of a football guy, but why the fack would you throw the ball with only a half yard to the goal line?  Running it in seems much more obvious to me, but what do I know?

Plenty of teams will throw inside the 5 with good effectiveness but it generally requires a QB with top tier accuracy as the windows are exceedingly small. A lot of it depends on what matchups you have going for you (both in terms of run vs pass and what kind of pass to call etc.)

This particular play however was pretty mind boggling. 2nd and goal with a couple yards to go...you have Lynch, defense is tired and deflated after the fluky Antonio Freeman MNF 2.0 play....all signs pointed to the run being the right option (irrespective of whether NE expected the run).
You can't just have your characters announce how they feel.
That makes me feel angry!

I may be able to transfer to Tampa permanently for work. Well, as permanent as anything is in the consulting business. I've not made up my mind yet.

The gulf is nice. I've no advice for you SirO, but I'd go. Change of environment, no more winters, paid in USD, the ability to come home anytime. A reset of sorts...a little adventure if nothing else.
Good luck either way!

What, and give up your warm winters?   ;D  Good stuff Glenn, although I'm sure it will be a difficult decision.   Sounds very appealing for sure, any impact for better or worse on seeing your kids more often?

I can't speak to any experience on the matter but in your shoes I would be itching for a change of scenery.

Warmth and USD, that helps too.
