damn cousin, ease up. you're losing more and more respect with each post. the dude's tryin to explain the reason for a tarnished image of him in this area, and clearing his name a bit. I've never met the dude, but from his posts he doesnt sound like a cock, but instead a guy who's tryin to work hard and got shafted by sno. take it easy home boy. and for someone who's trying to get into the ski industry, which is relatively small, i wouldnt go around claiming like that last line of yours. especially toward someone who is relatively established in said industry. take a breather homie.
