Apology

[amigadave]

Although I do not feel I have written anything over the past several months that I feel warrants this apology, I see that I have offended a few members here with my attempts at encouraging more members to participate in promoting, or in some other way helping the Amiga community as a whole.

I would like to assure all of you that my intentions are purely out of my desire to improve and help this tiny niche community grow and prosper.

To those members who have felt offended by anything I have written, I sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding we may have experienced.  I am very passionate about this hobby and this community and often try too hard to inspire growth and cooperation, while trying to minimize fighting and name calling here in these forums.

With that in mind, please accept this apology for any past mistakes I have made, and let us all experience a better year in 2012.

I also plan to express my opinions less this year and concentrate more on learning how to program on and for AmigaOS1.x to 3.x, OS4.x, MorphOS3.x and AROS, so you will probably see much less of me on the forums.  My plan is to limit my posts to help on any questions asked, and (for the most part) return to my lurking habits that I practiced here for several years, before I became more active posting on this forum site.

This announcement is not to say that I am fed up and going away, or anything like that.  I just think I can better use my time and energy, but will continue to read this forum site every day, as I did for years before I started expressing my own opinions.

Have a great year, and as a last parting comment, enjoy your Amiga (what ever that means to you) and share your enjoyment with others.

Thanks for all the fish!:rolleyes:

Dave, you are a voice of reason, and a peacemaker. Thicken your skin
and keep posting. The asylum wing of A.org will continue ranting regardless, less communication from 'the staff' won't inhibit the crazies and troublemakers.

Have you waxed the snow shovel yet?

Having thicker skin has nothing to do with my decision to use my time in other ways.(Edit: I have never been part of "the staff")

I will still post from time to time, but have decided to post less often where I express my opinions, and concentrate more on just answering questions, or helping in another way.

It won't hurt this place to have one less member posting opinions, or trying to encourage others to do anything.  My attempts were not effective anyway.

As for the waxing of snow shovels, my back condition keeps me far away from such tools.

@Karlos,

That is hopefully where I will do most of my posting this year.

@Kickstart,

I am relaxed, and well medicated as usual.  I never thought of myself as a ceo, or chairman.  My view of myself was more of a cheerleader, but now I want to stop cheering (mostly) and get on to the playing field and try my hand (and mind) at learning to program.

Finally, my apology was only aimed at those members who, I thought, had an incorrect impression of who I am and what my intentions are here.  I have no hidden agenda.
