Well a couple of things, My mom always taught me as a kid that if ya want to keep friends, stay away from politics and religion ... both of which we do no heed here and many of which have lost friends.

Gotta be something more entertaining to discuss once in a while. Now as fer Bobster,

1) He is one of the nicest people on the planet. He also fights and has been in the line of fire for Civil Rights from day one. He is always looking out for the less fortunate in society.

2) One of the finest musicians on the forum, no one plays blues like Bob

3) Aside from his Hillybilly image that he likes to portray, Bob has a slew of advanced degrees, two of them in fine art, yes Bob is a master of fine art. They don't give that away believe me.

He is the first to help you with any music, any research pretty much anything you need.

You know how I know this ... cause I don't just talk about politics.

It is much better trying to get to know someone other than just labelling them or thumping them on their politics.
