Rich,
I don't have anything against you, either. However, this Nate stuff is discrediting you. I know you say Nate is a friend and you feel obligated to stand in his corner. But you have to understand that Nate is not a business man. Nate is not a fabricator. Nate does not have the eye to be building Rover parts. I mean seriously man, his stuff sucks. you could be Jesus himself delivering Easter eggs to the White House lawn, but if those eggs were all fucked up the only thing people will remember is the fucked up Easter eggs.
I mean really, did you see Nate's sponsorship registration form? If you did you would me laughing your ass off, too. The man filled out the .pdf in ink, and instead of mailing it back to Chris and Staci he took a photo of it and emailed the photo. Seriously, you can't make this shit up. If you can't look at something like that and laugh and wonder WTF, you need to go visit Marty and get your taint massaged to loosen you up just a bit. It's stuff like this, the simple shit like this, that makes Nate not only a hack, but a dumbass.
