You're a strange chap, Grampy Bobby. You, from time to time, berate people - only those you don't respect, mind you - for talking about themselves in their posts. You've done it to me numerous times.

A few weeks ago you lampooned me for being self-centred when I related a two sentence personal anecdote about myself - you even counted how many times I used t ...[text shortened]... ecdote. You should take your own advice, Grampy Bobby, and have a look at what you have become🙂

No, not really. I'd rather it hadn't been necessary. But some things just need to be said.

In Robert Townsend’s "Up the Organization" [an autobiographical book about his top executive career in Corporate America], he says: “To increase our share of the market a few years ago, I was on the verge of approving the start-up of a new subsidiary—which would compete with our bread-and-butter business—at discount prices. To verify my own brilliance I tried the idea out on a tall, rangy regional vice-president named Stepnowski. After hearing the plans described in some detail, he sank the whole project with one sentence: “I don’t know what you call it, but we Polacks call that ‘pissing in the soup’ “ We're done here. //.

If you want to treat this place like your personal blog and talk about yourself ad nauseam, Grampy Bobby, fine, but don't then pounce on others - who you happen to disrespect - for talking about themselves from time to time ~ with all that sneering drivel you come out with about the incidences of the vertical pronoun and whatnot. Like I said, why don't you take your own advice, and have a think about what you've become. 🙂

Unfortunately Self awareness is not one of Gramps strong points.
