OK, OK There was nothing wrong in your teasings.I don't think there is much serious banter going on untill Its' time to get some help with a bus problem.Then those in the "know"will do thier best to be of serious help.If they are not in the know they still throw in their .02 worth. This is not a serious group at all and I think with few exceptions everyones skin is pretty thick and are not easily offended.So go ahead and take your best shot then run for cover.We'll kick you ass then help you up. Joking and harassment is fuel for this group. If anyone is offended by your salding remarks they can just get over it. Now I'm going back to my shop where Rose and Bluebus love me. oleblue ----- Original Message ----- From: kelly dosch To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 8:58 PM Subject: [tcb] A Formal Apology Ok, dang. My little paragraph of teasing went over like a lead balloon. Had I known all of you would take it so seriously and be so offended as to want to "kick my ass" or write "silver tongued" rebukes I would never have made fun of your constitutions in such a cavalier manner. I now see that we are a very serious group and that teasing or even joking of any kind is done at one's own peril. In the future, I will do my best to refrain from any further joking at the expense of anybody's pride. My most sincere apologies to all of you whom I wounded with my scalding remarks. It was only meant in jest, but I promise I will try to keep my jesting to myself from now on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
