Phillip, you admitted in one of your posts that you had intended a
little jab in our ribs, perhaps to just get our attention...
I think your jab has done an admirable job at getting a lot of
feathers ruffled. I Generally try to stay out of things just because
I don't have a hell of a lot of time for much outside activity, but
in this case I think you are able to perceive that my response
indicated a modicum of displeasure, and a considerably larger than
expected group of folks also took some umbrage with your position.
Louis L'Amour, a famous author of Western and some historical novels
often used an expression which roughly paraphrased states: " If you
fool around on the bandwagon, you gotta expect to get hit with the
horn".
You pretty well blew it with your responses to our responses.
I mentioned life experience, and the benefits one can derive from
same. Hopefully you can see that sometimes it is better to stay
silent than to continue to express your thoughts and reasoning, or
conjure up justification when all it will do is to cause you to work
your way deeper into the mire.
To the GreenKeyers out there in GreenKeys Land, I think it is time to
meander back over to "teletype-ism" and leave Phillip alone. I
sincerely hope we can curtail any further perturbation of this list
from its intended purpose of sharing and exchanging our knowledge,
skills, and experience at making the old clunkers continue to pound
away. I am not saying that we should not occasionally digress into
other areas, but for the most part, let's try and keep it teletype.
Y'all have a nice Fall season.
73,
George - W7TTY
