I pretty much agree with lamb. I also know rippy, and I'm happy for him that he got all of his debts paid off, and has a real roll now.

I was one of his lendors, and I was not one of the many who hassled him for the cash day in/day out.

Some of the criticism against him is probably brought on by himself, some is undeserved. I still hold rippy in higher regard than some others.
