And I The End ...

admin · Post by **admin** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 10:48 pm

You will notice that a couple of threads got completely out of hand last evening. They were, in my view, over the top and are now toast. As always, some very good ideas and comments were lost as the editing of offending bits renders the remaining posts nonsensical or out of context. To those persons I apologize. Your thoughts deserved better.

The inflammatory comments made about the instruments we love were unacceptable. To what end? They were of limited heuristic value, served to drive others away and offended and hurt Rickenbacker lovers, myself included.

I am reminded that a reputation is hard to achieve and easily lost. None of us can control EBay, the marketplace or the future. But we can excercise control of what we say in the present and that is the price of posting. I do not see the point of getting another bass if it means losing a friend. It's a new day, and I am reminded that this place is for fun. Let's move on.

Thank you Peter you do a great job every day here. I don't think you need to apologize for anything. I really appreciate what you do as each member does

Thanks Pete, I think we were all getting sidetracked, and forgot why we were all here.

It's all about this:

I was going to give them away, but, if you're offering money... I'm all ears...

The bear is getting himself all warm and fuzzy..... tummy tummy, rubbie, rubbie!!

Our blessed moderator has once again brought us back to the common denominator - the reason we are all here!

Well done, Peter...... rock on!!

I kinda wish I'd tuned in for all the fireworks, but its probably better that I never know.

Thanks, Peter.
