Turnbull, Your posts are a pleasure to read, always erudite and often quite funny. It's been a wonderful experience getting to know you. Plaw was such a huge fan of yours and, once I got to meet you, I quickly found out why.

Congrats on the 12,000. I look forward to many, many more.

Congrats TB!

I always enjoy reading your posts.

Congrats! You are one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever seen on the subject of the Mafia and other Crime organizations


SALUT!




He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!"

So what’s the labyrinth?

That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

Turnbull aka "the Professor" - Originally thought to be a member of Senator Geary's staff, but in actuality he was the American Consigliere to the Corleone family. His insights and evaluations were key to the success of many of the Corleone ventures into several legitimate businesses. His only venture into the world of crime was his alleged planting of the gun behind the toilet tank at Louis restaurant. After a very successful career as a consultant to Bernard Kerik, Chief of Police, NYPD he has retired to the Southwest where he is writing novels under the pen name of Mark Winegardner.

I always await TB's wise and insightful posts, and am constantly amazed at his encyclopedic knowledge. 12,000 posts is a lot, the quantity AND quality of them is really amazing.
Congrats TB, and here's looking forward to many more.

Turnbull, you're a man of fine taste; I've enjoyed conversing with you on a number of subjects over the years. Always love it when I get a 'random' PM from you.

To mark the occasion, a recommendation: Click. You won't regret it. smile

Round for round, pound for pound, there is no finer poster around. Well done, Turnbull. I enjoy your insight, your class, and intelligence. While it's not a massively posted thread, I really enjoy your "Mob Myths" section. smile

Our Man Turnbull. A true Mensch! A real gentleman! What more can I say. There are so many different words that could describe your 12,000 posts.

Quality...
Educational....
Rational....
Informative....
Supportive....
Fantastic...
Knowledgeable...
Friendly...
Respectfull...
Etc.....Etc......Etc....Etc....

I could go on and on for many more pages.

And of course these same words describe the kind of person that you truly are.

It's both an honor and a pleasure to have you as a member of these boards.

And as a result of your being a member of these boards not only have I been lucky enough to have made your aquaintance, but I can proudly say that I am honored to have made such a wonderful friend!

Congratulations Turnbull. You really are a good man!
