OK.

I have just dropped in and checked this thread, after
being absent for a few days.

I have done some checking into this "controversy"
(if all of this B.S. could even deserve that title)...

In the case of my question concerning the
Nakamichi TA-4A receiver, I was able to resolve
the issue without having to check the thread again
to see what bits of advice I had received. I never
checked back,


Yep.


so it does logically follow that I
never did respond to the original thread with a
message of gratitude to the people kind enough
to try to help me.


Yep.



So yeah, Keith G. is technically correct...I didn't
thank anyone in that thread, and I do believe
that I should have done so, even though I didn't
need to try any of the suggestions I received.


Yep.

(As in May last year, in ukra...)



I was wrong not to thank those who posted
suggestions...BUT...Keith G. is equally wrong
for slamming my head up against the wall so
furiously for it. It was a simple oversight on my
part, and certainly not deserving of such
self-righteous indignation on his part.


You think so? 100% incidence on my (new) computer here and I don't have the
beginning of this thread, but I believe I pointed out your crossposting and
failure to thank those who replied on this and the only previous post I
could find for you - which was also crossposted....



HONESTLY, we all have been guilty
of not expressing gratitude at one time or
another...


???


should we all be forced to have that
held against us for the rest of our lives?

Keith G. was quite diligent in finding a
mistake that I made in the past and then
holding me accountable for it.


Took 20 seconds - see above, I had only 300 posts to scan and your only
other post in ukra, the only group I subscribed to then was May last year...



Why couldn't he have been equally diligent
in finding my much more recent posts, where
I was quite careful to thank those who had
helped me?


In ukra? There weren't any.


I guess it's more fun for Keith G. to point out
where others go wrong, instead of actually
being constructive and helpful.


Not really and, as I was just about to unsubscribe ukra anyway, I'd have
done better to let it pass. If there had been more posts from you (ie as an
*ukra contributor*) instead of just one more example of what appeared to be
extremely selfish behaviour I wouldn't have replied at all.



And to top it all off, he never even offered any
advice to me in that Nakamichi thread--so why
is he even spending all of his time and energy
caring about whether or not people were
properly thanked in that thread???


I have no idea about your Nak problem and I care (cared) about the lack of
acknowledgement because it came at the end of a long career of assisting no
end of people over the last few years (in ukra) - usually/mostly without
acknowledgement. Came at the wrong time, that's all....



Is it really THAT much fun to be so
vindictive? I guess it is for Keith G.


Doesn't help when your response was as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Then you don't know how to read your reader, asshole.

If you ACTUALLY did the research you claim to have done, you will
find that I have consistently and publicly thanked the people who
took the time to help me.

...And I will thank YOU to keep your smart-ass comments to yourself
in the future.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Does it?



I will end by saying one more thing:

It takes a real adult to admit
when he's wrong.

I have done so in this post.


Almost - you seem more concerned to make the point that *I'm* in the wrong:


I will now wait for Keith G. to admit he
was wrong for being so needlessly
vicious.


Vicious? I don't think so - especially not in the light of your 'asshole'
response....



But I won't hold my breath.


Don't - if I thought I was wrong anywhere in that thread I wouldn't have
posted. Wasn't helped by your pal Meat Wanka swinging in to ukra trying to
act the tough guy, but I'll tell you one thing - at least he tried to back
you up. Not one member of ukra did the same for me - so **** 'em...

(This time I've announced my intention to drop 'audio usenet', I've so far
only had one 'ukranian' saying 'keep in touch with the group', so it looks
like I've overstayed my welcome there - not that there's anything left of it
other than the likes of Plowman...)



By the way, A BIG THANK YOU (sincerely)
to everyone who has been helping me with
the JBL speaker question. I haven't yet had
the time to try any suggestions, but I have
some free time coming up in the next few
days, and I plan to give some of your
suggestions a go. I'll let you know what
I find.... Cheers!


Well, it was a long haul, but it seems it did a bit of good in the end. Next
time you're in the wrong and get a bollocking for it try to act less like a
spoilt kid and pass the word to Meat Wanka to be careful about gobbing off
on someone else's 'home turf' - or someone might follow him home again....

That's it. I'm done with usenet now and will take this opportunity to nip it
off, or it will go on forever....
