John, First of all, I don't hit cones :-). Second, grumpy?, that's why I live near Disney so I can get to work easier :-). Third, I just stated that it was a commercial enterprise that is tied into his magazine and did not pass any judgment about that. Whether Rob makes enough money to buy a six pack or two is none of my business, nor should it be. Fourth, I like that forum, I just don't believe that people on this list should be cajoled into using it if they would rather not. Fifth, ....ahhhh , never mind!

I don't believe there's any way that Rob makes any money from the forum, and who cares if he did. You're sounding grumpier all the time .. get out and kick some cones guy.
