Well, that's the apology out of the way...now there's just the sacrificial
bloodletting to take care of and you'll be golden...
Seriously Geordan, I think I can speak for many folks when I say that we can
TOTALLY understand your want for security and a bit of privacy when on the
Internet. I think this should be especially true for younger folks on the
'net as well, and perhaps there could be some way to address this here at
LUGNET for the security of the younger posters.
As for your behavior, you have been a creative, fun, helpful contributor so
far here, and that's what seperates you from someone like a MM type...no
worries there.
And now that you have ironed out things with Todd (proving to me beyond a
shadow of a doubt that Todd DOES indeed take pains to hash out problems
BEFORE taking drastic actions...something everyone would be well to realize
also...) I think you are square here. So...WELCOME Geordan Hankison...I look
forward to many more exchanges with you in the future.
Matt
