nice rant.
Listen man. I was all for SRRS doing this, it's awesome. The ONLY reason I did not give you my nod, is because you told me you had no idea who the SRRS guys names were. Remember me asking you which one you were in discussion with and you couldn't tell me. I let one of them know that I did not approve of that. That's all I know. End of story on my part.
As far as the ONE saying that you're hung up on, and in it's context with offroading... yeah, I brought that to the trails. And people have used it in conjunction with offroading on shirts... a few people. They've sent me pics. I LOVE IT.
I'm not hung up on anything that I say, write on posterboard, yell out of a megaphone... cause I didn't invent words nor is it my livelihood. what I'm hung up on is looking after family. And that's all I was doing.
I had zero part in shutting your deal down. But finding this thread... I can see why it was.
Good luck to you.
