there is obviously a grudge between them....that (imho) should not have been brought here
Ron, did you really care whether Andy attributed that quote to you?....or did you just want to point out what an a@@ he can be?....because if it's the latter,most of us,even those of us who agree with many of his points already know it

FWIW Yes I do care and no it is not just a grudge. Don't expect you to believe it but those are the facts.
Andy swiped words. I guess a lot of people don't think that is a big deal. Taking those words did not make him an ass it made him wrong.
Yes I am a professional and should be held accountable for my opinions. Even if I weren't one I should be.
Funny thing about the whole affair is that if I substituted "word" for "picture" those that have laughed the most would be singing a different tune. Or at least in the past they have done so.
I guess the problem this time is that the person mentioning the problem is Ron Martin and the problem is words.
That seems to be a stumbling block for some.
But I promise that problem is no more. It is an easy thing to fix.
