In the thread posted by John F. he asks about my deleting of messages. Which I answered in that thread,so I wont repeat it here. I just want to say though that when I 1st came to this site,I did do that when I thought the topic ran it's course. I don't do that anymore. Of late,I had a topic that John brings up,that I did just delete for what I felt was lack of interest. As I stated in his thread,I should have waited longer. On the other hand though,when I posted a message asking if The Anciet Mariner would have made a good Gordon Lightfoot song,I did get 1 reply from watchman on that question but got more comments on spelling and grammer and a bit of sarcasm about how I sign off on messages. On another thread,I was asked why I felt it necessary to sign my name to my messages so much. If I recall,this is supposed to be a site for all to use to talk about Gord and other topics in Small Talk. Lately,to me,it's been more of a forum for nit-picking. If a person wants to put a signature on a message each time,that's their perogative to do so. Otherwise there would not be the option offered here. People mis-spell and sometimes use grammer that's not perfect but at no-time have I ever criticized anyone for doing so. I have politley suggested to Tattoo Man that he should brush-up a bit on his literary skills but I did so with no bad intentions. I hope in future posts we can just stick to the main purpose here and stay away from unecessary critiques. I know we have a God-given right to express ourselves but sometimes things are better left unsaid. Thanks for reading this and I hope you know,I still like all of you and I like being up on here with people of a shared interest and for that matter,just good folks. P.S.-I promise:No More Deleting! Swear To God!
