Yeah, I expected some snide remark like that. Feel free to come hang out with us here in Shreveport. My brother Chris met Sam back when they lived in the Grapevine area before moving back to the home land. He has been nothing but supportive to both my brother and I from the beginning and now even through this tragedy.

He has been the only one to stay in contact even after we left. Again, I expected this but I felt something needed to be said.

Tracy, I am sure Sam appreciated the kind words. We hope to head back to Texas soon. I haven't been offroad in quite some time. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Look, a spade was called a spade and "Sam" even defended his stance that H2 and H3 owners were somehow intermediate, which is asinine.

I like Tracey and repect him and his opinion. Yours on the other hand carries no weight because you haven't spent any time here. Not only that you do nothing but denegrate this forum while you try to defend your friend. He lost his credibility on his own, all on his on. He did nothing to correct the stupid statement he made and went so far as to make a shallow attempt at justifying it.

Remember this, you guys came to a forum that we as long time members enjoy and were disrespectful. If you don't like how you were treated, then look at how you approached us, not trying to blame us. And you can't hide any of it behind HOPE or any veiled attempts at good deeds. Many of us already pull our weight and certainly don't need this type of attitude to align with to continue to do more.

The statement was and is correct. There are no H2 and H3 owners currently that have experience in dealing with disaster relief activity. The reason I know this is because prior to Hurricane Katrina we have not had a national disaster to where H2's and H3's could be of assistance. The term intermediate was used for folks that have safe experience in not only offroading but safe recovery and first aid/CPR training, but have not been exposed to support on a national disaster or anything similar. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
