Hmmmmmmmm....sounds to me like the Hamster has used some kind of illegal substance and has a had bad trip..dejavu on steroids or something and he's freaking out bad....but hey dude you can always take a hike ya know....

but hey dude you can always take a hike ya know....

Curahee,
I'm sincerely sorry you were offended by my attempt at humor. I have been a member of this group from as far back as the old Yahoo "Classic 20th", and all through the three evolutions of this current forum, and rarely have I offended anyone either intentionally or accidentally. I would prefer to remain an active and contributing member here and would rather not "take a hike", so with your permission, can I stay?
Thank you so much,
-Brian

In professional lighting circles, there is no such thing is a "light bulb". In professional circles it is called a "lamp". When a lamp burns out, you relamp the light fixture.

So, I guess that not many intelligent members of our flight jacket community won't be changing bulbs anytime soon.

 

[Cobblers161]

That'll be one of the industry professionals then?

:lol: Very good, could be said of pretty much any forum out there.

 

[John Lever]

Yes bulbs are lamps, and wire is cable

Non taken, it's just your tone and that last cynical sentence about why you "hardly ever post here anymore" that struck a cord (or maybe I just don't have your keen sense of humor )

I've been around since 2004 and still enjoy the forum except for the endless discussions on politics (so I stay away from that section) and nitpickers like Rotenhan who get rude and too personal and of course caracters like Skeeter, Senicko etc. So maybe I was too quick to jugde you for wich I apoligize and humbly ask your forgiveness

So by all means stay and be an active and contributing member, and again please forgive me my lack of judgement and humor for wich there is no excuse

Post scriptum:

....1 to get offended by the poster and then write an entire post about it

 

[Vcruiser]

Well....
I've been around since the beginning of the beginning! When a new forum was just a slight glimmer in Chris's eye.
I just don't get the over sensativities. Especially when Brian is a respected (cough) member..and,also, been around for a very long time. I would think that he remains just as welcomed as anyone else.
I hope no one gets upset with my tone...but after the blatant antics of Senicko...if they do..maybe that's just too damn bad.
