Angie asked a very reasonable question. In the main, she got replies from those who love TV and see very little, if any, wrong with it. A couple of us mentioned some minuses, but really nothing major. Poor Rubicon is stuck here and he truly has my sympathies (honest, I'm not being in the least bit sarcastic -- no one should be forced to live somewhere they're not happy).

In between, this thread has gone off the track a few times mostly in fun. Then, all of a sudden someone got slammed, accused of having their own agenda, basically accused of what? trying to show off? brag?, etc. I guess he could have made the examples of how TV was in fact still marketing without being a CEO, but would we have given credence to the fact that TV offered him a free lifestyle visit otherwise? Sometimes our position or former position in life is given as a means of validating what we are saying. Personally, I think this was the case here.

So, I'm with Angie. It is time to close this thread. Her question has been asked and answered to a small degree. The odds of getting more answers are slim. Regardless, could we please stop the criticizing of another member here?
