Hey LostinBA, This "guy" is the antithesis of the expats you just described. I'm sure the employees he never paid care very much. He's also an international fugitive with felony warrants against him in Colorado. Can't you see the difference?
I started this thread with a question as another thread which made a direct accusation that the Bill Buckley in BA was the same William Buckley that was wanted in Colorado had been deleted a few minutes earlier. That thread also identified" Bill Buckley wanted in Colorado was the member BAFinance here in the forum.
This is just one of more than a hundred threads I've started and since joining the forum. I may have more posts in total than any other member but I average less than three posts per day. I spend most of the day working outside with the computer on and speakers in the window so I can listen to a CNN radio station.
There are over 9000 threads in the "expat life" forum. This thread now ranks fourth in the number of views with over 20,000 and that number is still climbing. Apparently a lot of people are interested as much as I am. I don't think of our favorite fugitive much unless I am viewing new posts in the thread itself, but I'm happy this thread has received so much attention.
I never met Billyboy but he first got my attention when he bragged about jumping turnstyles to avoid paying the train fare. Didn't your parents teach you that someone who breaks the rules and brags about it, even if it's a very minor violation, is also likely to break the bigger rules, often harming others?
Mine did.
