All good! Maybe your expressed observation will in push out some great new retro conversations anyway. You know, refocus us. Always a shock when your private message goes back to the group. Happens surprising often :-0 - D. Crawford On 7/24/2021 7:31 AM, Crawford Griffith via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
Folks,
Thanks for your tolerance of my tirade of a few days ago... finally had the nerve to read the responses, which of course were reasonable and well-intentioned, as most things are here.
Computer networks are great force-multipliers: You can throw one dart and hit dozens of people in the eye. Yay. I had meant to send my email to a friend privately to ask for a gut-check on what I was feeling. Instead I did something I very rarely do and replied instead of forwarded. I expressed some things very poorly. I'm not a jerk... well maybe I am, but I'm generally not rude. So what I did was doubly or maybe triply stupid. And, of course I meant Mr. Brace. But no excuses here, I own this.
If I offended anyone here with a badly expressed email, I sincerely apologize. This is a friendly community that is passionate about vintage computers, and incredibly knowledgeable and generous with their time and talents. Multiple people have helped me with projects, and I feel lucky to be part of this group.
So, hopefully enough said about this.
