   I agree! I am a lurker here also and I always enjoy reading the Business boards. Not sure why, but I do. And now there isn't a thread that hasn't been invaded by him and his long winded annoying posts. Fedupguy who started this thread is right in that it has also affected the 'quality' of other posters responses (hope this doesn't sound snobbish). Quite understably so, but the Home building board is suffering for it.

   Just my 2 cents from someone who knows virtually nothing about contruction and remodeling but likes to read pro's experiences. And with a bit of luck, RK won't respond to this post with an offer for a 12 step program to learn about construction if only I give him a ton of money.

   *Amen from another lurker. Please ban him; he has the same spiel as the guy selling lifetime memberships to the gym, and detracts from every thread.

   *I suggested in another thread that here in "Breaktime" there should be no soliciting and all offenders should be removed. If anyone would like to pay for advertising I'm sure Taunton would be glad to collect money for such a service. I come here for fun and to share experiences, either mine or others. I don't come here to be sold on something. This site is very fun and informative. lets not ruin it by allowing these people to propagate.

   *Sorry People, but I had to laugh. I've been at this site for 4 years or better and have seen plenty of stuff and many a jerk come and go. I haven't read this Richard's posts but I'm sure it's nothing I haven't seen before.Besides the aggravation of Richard's posts, the good that comes from this forum surely outweighs the bad. You can always skip over the stuff you don't care for and soon enough it will go away (only to be replaced by the next bozo)IT was a few years ago that the "Woodshed Tavern" was born from Breaktime because of both the heated and silly (and everything in between) discussions that used to take place on the main board.Stick around long enough and you may be wishing Richard was back when the next pain-in-the-neck is worse.Pete

   *Pete, you should look in. It's kinda funny in a twisted way. Lotsa regulars in there, lotta people been here longer than me getting their dander up at different times. AJ, Luka, James Du Hamel, Gabe, SHGlaw, Ron Teti, Blue, Jeff Buck, etc. I will say it's worse than what I've seen before.

   *The "Richard thing" irritates quite a few of us, and until now, I have refrained from responding. It is obviously consuming some of the regulars, but it's a process, and as in all processes, it will come around and come to a resolution. It is most important that we do not fall into the grip of censorship because something doesn't fit the mold. Richard Kaller will eventually self-destruct if he doesn't understand the necessity to adapt to this forum as opposed to trying to shape it. Hang in there!fv

   I am a lurker. I have learned so much from this site that I feel like I owe taunton and the other posters a great deal.

   But I am fed up. I can no longer stand to see richards name in any post. His advertising and references to his mickey mouse club are too much. If he would begin to actually contribute rather than answer questions with more questions I might read his posts. But he does not. He continues to babble. More than one useful and informative thread has been destroyed because of him.

   Richard alone is bad enough. But even the regulars are beginning to frustrate me. It doesn't matter what he says, someone responds and adds to the flow of useless information. More than one useful and informative thread has been destroyed because of their responses.

   I know I'm not the only one that feels this way. He really has to go. You have a wonderful site and he is destroying it. His long winded posts are only part of the problem. He is affecting the attitude of everyone here. Get rid of him before no one is left.

   Andy, I don't want to leave, but if there is nothing left but richard fighting everyone else there is no reason for me to stay.
