I have thrown my hat in the ring. I have most of the time just sat back and read and hit the DELETE button when needed. I hold no contempt for any one and feel I could be fair minded and not hold a grudge. I spent 20 years running a successful and profitable shop for a large Corp, running numerous employees and routes and am now self employed, I know when to be heavy handed and when to let it go. I would probably not want it full time,but would not mind doing it with BEN as we live near by and know each other.
