I'm glad you didn't take offense. I've never meant any harm by abbreviating user names on occasion when quoting. It's just that when you do a quick-post and only quote part of the poster, you have to manually add the poster's name. With the extra thought that's required to be respectful by spelling the poster's name correctly, I sometimes get distracted and end up having a bit of fun with it, or set a limit to how much I'll think about it anyway. Seriously, how many times do I have to make sure I type blueroomelectronics correctly, or Goodwin and not Godwin, before I'm allowed to take liberties?

 

I think you can get away with Godwin; I'm sure he'd be pleased. Plus, misspelling a name is still more respectful than hearing a soccer(foot)ball being kicked around the hallways at three in the morning. They always manage to hit the resonance frequency of my wall...

What a long way this thread has come from unsolicited e-mail! My junk folder receives about 100 e-mails every two weeks. All for my home ISP mail address. Hopefully my college e-mail won't get spammed any time soon.

Hi Eric,

Congratulations, I'm hoping it will be a few years yet until I get my first grand child.

Don't worry about the horse, he's huge and will easily fit 12 ggc on.

Mike.

 

Now that's a country song!

 

All country songs are: I drank my beer and found jesus.

Well, like with just about any genre, what you hear on the radio isn't the good stuff. So if you're basing opinions of music on that you're really not getting the full picture.

When I lived in Europe I didn't run into a lot of country listeners largely because the history and culture are different. And country music in French or Finnish just sounds. . .wrong.

I like country music

Blues Brothers

 

The hill-billies in the South-Eastern United States listen to country Hee-Haw music. They are cowboys.

The western music was country music and was rare in the West.

I have received recently one of those PMs mentioned here - asking for help and from someone not posting here at all. Of course I did not answer.

So I guess I can join the club

Yup, I've started getting some of those too. Yay! I've arrived! (As they say in Hollywood).
