They were taken from random threads, at the time I posted it there were
appx. 175+ posts to that thread - and you see the small range the quotes
were taken from - 475 thru 524 -and that includes whatever non topical posts
were made in the admin:nntp thread. I really could have re-read all 175+ (at
that time) posts and cherrypicked the real gems in there, but it was not
that important.

Exactly my point.

LOL, you are not the first to tell me this, and I am seeing that is a true
statment.

Attitude? I was very polite and respectfull to Todd, I was trying to have an
adult conversation with him - to bad others did not see this. I did not get
an attitude with Todd, or even Eric after his rude and out-of-line statments
- I was being an adult.

I would think it is, it should be a great joy in their lifes. And I am not
saying its not - to clear that up right now.

YES!! I do appreciate Lugnet, and have said it numerous times - this is
truly a great site. I would say it is one of my favorite sites,and this
thing has not changed the way I feel about this site.

To clarify a few things, I never meant for anybody, espically Todd to take
anyhting I said in a negative way - but it seems they have. I did make an
offering of peace to Todd (see the pics of the wedding site thread in the
legoland CA section), but it went unanswered - Seeing that Todd reads
everything, I am taking it that he does not want peace, or is plain ignoring
me (also, a way of not wanting to get over things). **I** want to get past
this entire thing - thats why you will not seeing me talking about TLC's
privelages anymore, just clearing misconceptions and untruthes up here.
Todd, if you are reading this, I am serious about getting over this, I want
to - I hope you do also, we disagree about this - so what? You said that you
disagree with Suz and your friends every now and then, and it is a good
thing - I am not asking to be your best buddy or anything, but we are adults
and have the ability to be friendly and civil towards each other. Nothing
has chandged on thi side of the keyboard, I never had any problem with you
at all - I just wanted you to know this. The ball is in your court, I hope
you return it.
