Agreed! And I believe John was the one making a lot of the fuss ;)

(putting on the verbal bomb squad suit...)


Ok, this "fuss" can be interpreted as a "bad" thing, or a good thing.  Guess you
just have to know Ross... Frankly, after reading the posts on those links, I
couldn't see anything but praise (maybe the word "fuss" was more of a tip of the
hat to the amount of praise given all around on those posts).  Granted, I do a
bit of work with Australia, and I'll just say "politically correct" for the most
part (or those I worked with), isn't in their vocabulary (thank goodness!).
Might be one of the reasons why I like them so much, but I digress.



Is there something wrong with that? Are you mocking John for being happy that
someone else is creating and wanting others to be aware of it so they can be
happy too?

Don't think it's so much mocking as Rosco is having a bit of fun with John,
giving him a little friendly tease... "fuss" isn't always bad...


There seem to be some that think that mentioning that something is worthy of
mention or notice is something to belittle or ridicule. I just don't get that.
Seems petty to me to harp on other people being happy for creators.

It sure reads like you're mocking him to me.


Didn't seem that way to me.  This type of thing above is when the non-spoken
language meshes with the spoken language--and sometimes doesn't work.
Sometimes, verbal things said jokingly with a bit of a wink and a nudge just
don't have the same feeling as they do when spoken. Holds true for those that
speak the same language--and those that don't.

There are times when I want to post, but I just can't get the tone right of what
I've written...rather than post as is, and deal with whats to come
later,realizing it may be interpreted wrong, I just delete what I've written.
Sometimes it's better to keep quiet a little while longer than just sounding off
and potentially damaging the thread.

If you guys have to start yet another noisy bitchfest, at least put it where it belongs... FUT set. Soren (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.models.sets, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.space)
