"...and all because I used to work for Shelby. While I did enjoy working for Shelby, I however did not figure it would cause so much hull-a-blue after I stopped working there, guess I was wrong. "
Working for Shelby had nothing to do with the 'hull-a-blue'. If I remember you kept that a secret until you were outed by a third party.
The speculation, questionable motivation, and the deep throat like inuendos had everything to do with the 'hull-a-blue'.
As far as '...intellectually constricted by the powers that be in the Cobra world.'...I agree with Blue Rooster, that IS funny. I don't think you are the marytr here.
Hang out, read some posts, add some comments, get some info, share some experience... but don't make yourself out to be above, or below the next guy as you see fit...we're all just another bozo on the bus. Some of us more so than others.
