Apology to RGO newsgroup
Welcome to our little corner of Usenet. :-) Apology accepted. It *is* a
wonderful day for a picnic, isn't it!? I must confess that I didn't see your picture, Troy, and I didn't see Mick's initial response to it although I can well imagine what it must have looked like. I am using adelphia Usenet servers to view this newsgroup and they in turn draw their newsfeeds from giganews. I think giganews blocks picture files in non-binary hierarchies but I don't understand where Mick's initial response to it went. So, the first I have seen of this little spat is this apology. I suspect there are a large number of people who never even saw your picture or Mick's initial response to it. But I may be wrong. I often am. Did any adelphia users see this picture? I also noticed this apology on abpo, but again no picture or Mick's response. You didn't need to apologize to *abpo* for posting a picture. That is where you can post them without fear of offending our delicate sensibilities. FWIW, I kind of liken this type of crime to putting your elbows on the table during our picnic. Pure Evil. A picnic with visible elbows! However, I am puzzled that the punishment for this infraction seems to be the forced removal of your arms above the elbow with a chain saw. That is just so "Alice and the Red Queen," because I *do* think that chain saws are as inappropriate at meals as elbows. All this bar and chain oil flying everywhere. It's really quite messy, don't you think? But, I'm hardly Miss Manners and what do I know? Yet, if I *had* known there would be chain saws I would not have brought my good table linens to the festivities. From where I am eating it looks to me that Mick, far from disliking pictures, actually lies in wait for them. He calls it dirty work, I think, but if it makes him money, ah well.... I guess a chain saw at the table is here to stay. I can imagine a worst case scenario where doppelgangers (my favorite word) newbies post pictures and run but I am sure that's not happening here. Mick always demonstrates far too much honor for me to suspect him of being party to such a thing. If I have any say in this at all, and I am sure I don't, so I won't go on too much longer, I would ask Mick to be a bit nicer the first time a new poster does something as horrible as what you have just apologized for doing. But short of asking I do not see what else I can do so I hesitate to get involved. Well, isn't it a lovely day? Could someone please scoop the blood and bar/chain oil from the top of the fruit salad and pass it this way. Thank you. "Troy House" wrote in message ... Wow, Mick The upload to RGO was certainly an error, and I do sincerely apologize to all. (My news reader added the address automatically and I was unaware it was sent to RGO until I was so informed.) I was also going to order from your company, OrchidFlask.com, but having now experienced your attitude, I can only imagine how you treat your customers and their questions. I can't believe that a few orchid photos could cause one so much rage. -- Troy House |
