I don't think Ringo is John Mc. He sounds more like my old buddy Jeff Hollowhead. John has sold out, that's for sure. But Hollowhead was a whore from the get-go. I haven't been on ths site in a while, but I've gone back and looked at some of the previous posts. Ringo has the requisite combination of arrogance and ignorance that would tag him as Hollowhead.
And BTW, Hollowhead. Brian has displayed incredible stupidity in hiring the half dozen or so ex-HLA employees he has, with the possible exception of Kristen. But he's not so stupid that he will hire you. He lived next door to you, remember? He knows you. So mark Aspiro off your list of possibilities when HLA tanks.
