I don't think you will find anyone here that will disagree with that statement :)
I don't find Tex to be a pain whatsoever.
He is in fact, one of a handful of FR posters that I will purposely search out to see what his comment of the day is....along with Lazamataz, JohnnyHuang2, kattracks, to name a few.
I hope he's not flirting.
