Hi Mark,
There was no personal atack, my comments were aimed at negative people in
general.
I didn’t think that to “bitch and moan” would be considered bad mouthing
but after looking it up it’s seems to be in the dictionary as “rude slang
to complain about something”.
My apologies to anyone who felt offended by that remark.
I don’t mind a good discussion, on the contrary, I’m all for it. But it’s
seems that on this reflector there is a lot of negative going on.
Also, a lot of the subjects keep coming back over and over again. This
reflector more often then not makes me think of Statler and Waldorf but
then without it being funny.
But maybe the problem is just me. Perhaps I’m to young for this reflector.
I don’t know.
What I do know is that I’m going to take a break from this reflector. Hope
to catch you on one of the bands!
73, Maarten PD2R
