<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In view of some of the posts of the =
last few days,
I'd like to make a few comments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have made it a habit that when =
someone makes a
disparaging, insulting or otherwise questionable comment, I first look =
up the
name in the directory. I"d like to know where this person is from =
etc. No
need if I know who it is.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There have been recently 2 examples I'd =
like to
cite.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Three or four have suggested =
that humor
such as many of us have has no place on the list.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. The on topic discussion of =
soundboard
springs has been ridiculed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been involved in both these
examples and having looked up the most outspoken
responses</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>find not suprisingly =
that they are
not listed in the directory. Could they be</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. New members</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Non members</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Incognito</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Other</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to personally and =
publicly thank Del
for sharing his ideas regarding springs for soundboards. He also
graciously shared his e-mail address to someone who didn't know how to =
find it
on the e-mails or even look it up in the directory. (Maybe he =
doesn't have
one).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This was after being ridiculed. =
Del, maybe
your skin is just a little too thick.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Being the Rodney Dangerfield of the =
PTG, I'm easily
hurt but considering the source does help. I feel better =
now.</FONT></DIV>
