I uhhhh... Don't know what to do with my hands.
We are good D, no need to stroke out over bombs. For future reference most of us find it akward, even improper to ask for free stix.
FFR: Your heart is in the right place, I believe, but this is still something that is better done via PM. An easy way to figure out who you've had conversations with is to just search back through threads you've participated in. You have less than 250 posts so far, so it shouldn't be a great undertaking to scan your posting history.
Embedded hyperlinks are pretty difficult to see with this skin, so it's no surprise people missed it. I didn't realize there was one there until you pointed it out later on. In the future, try something like this: "LINK>>>(hyperlink here)<<<LINK".Thanks for that. I think I also needed to stress that people read the link first from the other thread. But I'm guilty of that too... I'll get an email that a thread I'm in or eyeing has a post and sometimes just start at that one before reading everything prior.. which can be a lot sometimes.
If I would came in here casually today and not seen the OP, I'd probably have been like wtf is he snappin' about?? I actually did start scanning my posts from numero uno and trust me, combing thru even... 230ish or so at the time would have taken a long time. I don't regret the thread, and you're right, my heart is/was in the right place.. I should have provided more context here and also proofed it better before posting.
And holy hell almost 250 posts already. Are any emergency or critical services up and working yet? Been in this bunker a couple years now... and ever since the dual Rabbits went down it's been a little smoky...
Well said Nick!Embedded hyperlinks are pretty difficult to see with this skin, so it's no surprise people missed it. I didn't realize there was one there until you pointed it out later on. In the future, try something like this: "LINK>>>(hyperlink here)<<<LINK".
Now, this is the point where you stop explaining yourself in every post and quit while you are ahead.
FFS take your own advice, Jeff.Well said Nick!
@Cigar Dan Dan, if I may .... a some more friendly advice?
- Avoid the multi-paragraph posts when a sentence will do. It makes people feel like you believe your posts are more important than others.
- Until people get to know you "personally", as opposed to through the internet, try to keep the embedded humor to a minimum. It simply doesn't across through the internet. It took years before people accepted my twisted humor.
- These two things combined have a tendency to make people skip to the next post when they see your avatar.
- Don't expect us to understand why extended periods without ink messes up your life.
- Amazon delivers in 1-2 days
- The post office can print your labels for you
- Libraries
- Kinkos
- Office Max
- Etc.
FFS take your own advice, Jeff.

This is the way.Avoid the drama, post less and read more!
There is actually another Dan here ??? Thank god. Now I can stop taking those pills for multiple personality disorder
Didn't you start this thread??
How’s your name change coming along?
Rod is usually pretty responsive to emails -- he's rarely ever on-site anymore due to life commitments and PMs tend to go a while before being answered.Great question. Actually PM'd @CgarDan earlier today about this. Rod was on the other day, so I was hopeful, but still says pending for mod..
I'm fine with ABC123 being my name at this point. Seriously.
