I'm here, at the foot of Mt. Olympus.

After going back and re-reading my first forum interaction here I now realize I did come across as kind of a dick and I want to offer a sincere apology to you and any members of this forum, including Dionysis and the webmeister Bryan, that I may have offended.

Recent revelations here on this forum have reminded me how short and unpredictable our existance is and when its my time I don't want anybody to remember me in that way.

I always come across better in person and perhaps one day I can buy you a Fosters (do people in Australia actually drink Fosters?).

The only part of my original post I don't apologize for is calling you a Big Forum Hero because in a way that's what you are here and I now can appreciate that.

er....thanks? (Dionysus btw). Brother, I'm the last guy to hold a grudge (obviously cuz I don't recall and can't be arsed to check, tho thanks). Any initial difference I chalk up to lack of knowledge, difference of opinion, or other....welcome, cheers for joining, and in my mind, any slights are ancient.

I think we all got reminded how fragile we are and cudos to you for putting it on print

My first action was to tell someone else to please stay alive.
The next is naturally to go back and take a look at ourselves. It's so easy to forget that what we do/say will be remembered and I believe we all want it to be in a positive way.

bigjohn, what you have written in here after that first thread has made up for that many times over already.
You're a nice guy!

...and so are our Forum Hero

I missed that post, but now I know where the 'Big Forum Hero' came from...and Nifty's not one to hold a grudge either if the apology is sincere, which I think yours is.

Thank you all for your kind words. Dionysus, I included you because you were the only other one who spoke up and I answered in a way I probably shouldn't have. I didn't think you harbored any ill will but I still felt an apology was in order. Basically, I was busting around and I should have known it wouldn't go over the way it was intended, inflection, expressions, and body language don't translate well in the written word. Anyways, I just wanted to attempt to clear the air, so to speak, since I'm having fun here and plan on sticking around for as long as you all will have me. Thanks again.

You're a good man, John.

Very few would look back and even reconsider what they've said, let alone apologize for it.

I'll have a drink with you any time mate....except its on me

I'm also sorry if I was rude at the time.
