Who is the founder of this forum? I absolutely love this forum, and I am grateful it is there. I have been reading threads right and left ever since I bought my CB a month ago. Would it be The Ferret by any chance?

No sir, that would be Guth who built and pilots this ship. I am just first mate.
Glad you are liking this place, lots of knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, respectful posters here.

It is a common misperception that the ferret captains this vessel when, in fact, the ferret is to Guth as Fletcher Christian is to Captain Bligh, as Starbuck is to Captain Ahab, as Smee is to Captain Hook, or, though deviating from the theme, most accurately, Patrick is to Sponge Bob.

Mutiny on the Bounty, Moby Dick, Peter Pan, Sponge Bob Square Pants... hmm, articulate literate, alliterative, literal parallels with divisive, elusive, deluded, illustrative thematic material! +1 MG! Sounds like you're on a roll; thanks for such great "roll play" among us!

Fritz did you need to bust out a thesaurus for that amalgamation of synonyms?

Nope. My spouse and kids would assure you I'm nerdy and wordy enough to come out with such word strings without much help or encouragement! Guess I can't help myself at times....
