What if everytime
someone displayed a photo and it was commented on, they posted an
individual thank you to each and every person that made a comment?
I was busy writing a robot to do just that, just to look sociable. Oh
well, nevermind...

I'm not trying to blame anyone Joe. My biggest issue was that overload

You all can say anything you like on the list, I've always been a
proponent of that.
However sometimes it can get a little silly. What if everytime

That does happen sometimes. We can easily fill up bandwidth, both
electronic and human with relatively meaningless chatter that has
nothing to do with photography or is utterly trivial, and it can
become burdensome at times.
And no Jostein, as I said, my motivation wasn't to bring any one down.
I was simply feeling some frustration with the level of idle banter I
was having to handle.

Really, folks, I should be blamed, as I believe I started this some months
ago, under extreme pressure from my various calendars and FaceBook, My
Heritage, Ancestor.com, my own Address Book, all of whom batter me daily
with colorful reminders regards anyone's birthday that may be coming up in
the next few days or weeks.
So I caved, and wished a few PDML'rs a happy, and others chimed in, and so
on. I've had to cut my birthday wishes down now to only pretty young female
relatives who frankly could give a good shit about their portly old uncle,
thrice removed by marriage.
Try to be nice. Try to be friendly. Try to be social.
You will be dumped upon by the type 'A's... :-)
P.S. I like Tom. I like astronomy. I even have great respect for Mark.
And a modicum of respect for everyone else who takes the time to be
here.
P.P.S. This does not, however, release any of you denisons of the US of A
from celebrating my birthday, this year, and every year, even after I'm long
gone to ash that you and yours will be inhaling and coughing from, as you
celebrate the Fourth of July (welling music here) and the birth of me.

qualification to PDML) :-)
By the way, did any of you, as did I, have to try out a couple of Pentax
pens at the K-7 tour meetings to find one that worked? Hoya QC?

Paradoxically, I was under the impression that Cakalic himself had
friends on this list. If memory serves me right, he has even presented
the list with photos of meetings with them.
Tom, if it it bothers you so that other people have friends which they
wish greetings to on their birthdays, then I suggest you apologise in
public for bothering us with your own posting of cameraderie.
It may please you to know that whatever your motivation posting the
below, it didn't succed bringing me down. But I think bringing people
down was precisely your intent. Otherwise you wouldn't have posted to
let us know that you had deleted the even worse things you originally
planned to say.
We have been antagonists before, Tom. Welcome back.

I'm not meaning to bring anyone down, but seriously, at least
semi-seriously, all these birthday announcements... everyone is born
within a 366 span of time by the Gregorian calendar.
I could say more and just erased a bunch of blather which would make
you dislike me more than this post...
but who cares?

I couldn't remember most of what I know today
if it weren't for others sharing their knowledge
of my past on the Internet. Thank you…
