Rick,

You know I miss Ashley, I'm sending him something every 2 weeks. Seems the only way I get to know how he is doing is from you. Maybe I should have replied to this, but I didn't know what to say. I thank you for posting how he's doing, and think of him everday. I'm sure there are others that like to know too, maybe even some "Lurkers" that just like reading his posts and replies. I don't see a reason for you to stop giving updates.

Thanks Rick

Brian

Rick, the item you posted was news. Pure and simple. One should not expect a news item to receive an acknowledgement every time.

Even if one does, berating people who do not reply is a bit below the belt.

Just accept that people speak when they have something to say

SORRY ...

I wasn't berating anyone ...sorry that you thought that ..
I guess what I being seeing here later ... is all that important is if someone can start a fight over something that someone post here ..
I won't bother posting anything here anymore ..


once again .. I am sorry if I hurt anyone feelings .
Rick ..

I would have replied but I don't know Ashley that well I wish I did... Does he have a screen name or anything like that?

Rick - I didn't have anything appropriate to say publicly but I've been practically off-line for almost a week - just too busy. Sorry I haven't found time to figure out what I want to say to both you and Ashley.

Rob - Rick may have overreacted a bit, but he didn't say anything personal. Considering how regular Ashley has been here and how long he's been around and interacted with folks different ways, I am also a little surprised there weren't more simple Thanks! replies to Ricks news. Obviously Ashley thinks highly of Rick to ask him to be the bearer of good news. Granted, Rick doesn't post a lot here so most may not know him well and therefore may have not felt comfortable replying.

But, "grow up" is pretty much a personal attack. I'm pretty sure Rick's shoes aren't much more comfortable than yours or Marc's. Do you really know much about his life?

To be blunt, sometimes I'm just plain tired of stong-willed people and really appreciate it when someone more soft-spoken voices an opinion. I see this at work all the time - the loudest or most authoritative voice MUST be right. Bullshit.

Damn good post and reply-will take the matter to heart.HOWEVER-telling someone to grow-up is just some small nudge asking one to reconsider a viewpoint.Oh btw if I bunched up your panties,my day has been made.You see I have a panty fetish. rob
