Bob :

Is this the press release ?

I have not known you to "boast" . \:\) I assume you "boosted" your status. \:D However you may be saying good things about (boasting) about the good qualities of your nationwide clients.

"Participants will learn from Bob Lusk, how he boasted his nationwide clientele, began Pond Boss ...."

I did not want you to go to the meeting with the attendees thinking you were a "boaster" and be unprepared to respond. It would be a good light hearted way to open a talk on how to write or be an author. :p ewest

That's what I get for not reading the thing. You know me, I don't boast. Don't need to.

It's not boasting when it's the truth! ;\)

Ric :

You are right. Its not bragging if you can do it. I did not want Bob to show up unaware that the crowd might think he was bragging based on an error in the press release. Forewarned is forearmed . ewest

That's a pretty impressive release, Bob. It almost makes you sound as good as we already know you are.
