Man, I just spent my morning going through this epic/classic post (again). It truly "defined" Barry as the detailer-extraordinaire he is.
What REALLY sets this post apart is so many of the past and present Autopian All-stars have some post-and-comment for Barry and Mr. Theal took the time to thank every one. I think he spent more time posting than he did detailing. (Or he has Accumulator's secret-software/method to posting on this forum.)
Mr. Theal's comments about not concerned with price and doing this for the love of detailing and commitment to perfection regardless of time are indicative of his passion/obsession with the art and skill in detailing that comes with that rare individual who loves what he does and wants to be the best. What I like most is his willingness to share that with all of us in this forum, regardless of what level of detailing we are at. I have said this before that Barry is an inspiration to us all and we are fortunate and privileged to have him as a fellow Autopian.
All I can say is, "Thanks, Barry"
(Now if I could only find out what Ron Ketcham (AKA Grumpy) has been up to these days)
