My Irate rantings

[Cyber Source]

WOW!
 Well at least we are getting some emails going.
Now for a moment of clarification.(mostly to Ron Maggio) 
I said "no offense" because I thought that the comment about "COULDN'T"
make it to the meetings, might be misconstrued by some reading it
quickly as "WOULDN'T" make it to the meetings.
Yes, I realize the fact that emails don't always get the message across
like you want it to, that is why I take the time to choose my words
carefully.
It also comes to mind by Chaz's comments here that he wrote me once
before about being careful about email message intentions, and it comes
to mind that it was about Ron Maggio.
I then can remember a rant that was going on between Ron and someone
else.
Ron, don't take offense to this but you need to chill.
As with what Chaz is talking about in the paragraph below about a topic
being discussed in the last 15 min of a meeting, it was.
I was merely trying to keep a thread of a topic going that was already
started. And, to point out that (now don't take offense again) if you
were there, you would have known this.
I am not bashing anyone but I also don't like it when my intentions are
being misread. I offered my home to keep the meetings going and I really
enjoy the company of all the members and to share our collective
knowledge in a productive way. I really don't care what the topics are
about or who is doing them, as long as we keep them going, by meetings
or by emails. I would like to see everyone at the meetings. mostly
because I am taking the time to set aside my home and be here and I want
to see the other members make the effort as well. NO OFFENSE TO THOSE
THAT CAN'T MAKE IT!!!!
'nuff said.
