I can't help it. Stalking is in my nature and you seem like a good target.
Good and willing. Thanks for your cooperation.

Perhaps team suck needs to study the Rick Weber publication, BoltingRed17.pdf and the companion guide Cleaningbook_V1.pdf.
If they had studied these publications they would realize that ONLY authorized route developers should be replacing anchors and bolts with brackets in the red. I'm pretty sure that they can get their "qualified and authorized route developer merit badge" from troop leader Weber at one of his many "teach all the gumbies to bolt clinics".

Once again, thanks Rick for all your awesome hard work and effort in quantifying and regulating our sport. If it wasn't for guys like you..... well shit I'm not sure what I would do.

Because of you Rick, I've been inspired to work towards this merit badge:
The world citizenship merit badge.

And this one, the useless publications merit badge:

Buster,
After ignoring your last four or five goading personal attacks on me in this forum, I’ve decided (maybe unwisely) to answer your latest poke:

No suggestion or reference is made in this booklet to “authorizedâ€

oh crap Rick..you took the bait. you should know by now that Buster has "zero" interest in modicum, truth, honesty, veracity or any other big city word. that is the true definition of an old crusty. old fat out of shape saps bangin the drum of a foregone world where they ruled and others drooled. now that they are one year closer to taking the dirt nap, anger, fear and loathing are much better tactics than actually continuing to provide constructive input into the community.

how do I know all this? because I, too, am very close to drooling on myself and being pissed off that the new generation is warming up on my projects. my unhappy disposition is only alleviated by the supreme glory I derive from being "pigsteak" on here....Buster just happens to be one bladder bag closer to eternal demise than I.

hope that helps. it isn't personal.
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.
