Thank you PP. Well to be honest, I probably did come across as being very unfriendly and in fact it was more or less for the reasons that you described. We are, a lot of us very wary and chary of being invaded by these people who are just casting about looking for somewhere to post up links to their own sites... most of which are of a very dubious nature, and their intent even more so. I am usually one of the first to welcome newcomers to this site.. the sight is enriched by those people who are genuine and who are not just spammers, using us for their own ends, without invitation, or introduction. We all would love more new genuine members, and if Dee6 wanted to introduce herself properly and come here as a contributing member I would have welcomed her tool. Dee6 obviously thought I was rude, but then again, I thought she was also. I saw her as coming here not to contribute, but to try and use us for her own ends as a distrubutor of a product. There is a big difference, but her reception could also have been different if she had made her entrance differently too. Surely it is a just common coursesy surely to introduce oneself, even in a brief sentence. None of us would dream of walking into a room full of people we have not met before, without first saying, "Do you mind if I join you?" Nor would we walk into their midst and suddenly set up a stall and start unpacking our sample case and putting up a range of goodies, with out asking first, " Do you mind ?"
I guess it just boils down to this "respect" thing, that was mentioned in another post.. People these days, don't seem to know what it means, and personally, I just think better of people who honestly and openly say who they are and what they are about, as opposed to those who try to give the impression they are one of us with an enquiry about a product.. and hey, one of you might be able to help me !! Why be so devious ? That is the part that does not sit well with me. And yes, I was cranky about it, no doubt about that, but in the meantime, Dee6 has apologised, and I have accepted it, so let us move on and continue to enjoy the site as it is meant to be enjoyed. But hey! Thanks for thinking so good of me PP all the same.. You have heard of the little girl who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead ? Yeah ? Her name was Kate.. didn't you know ? :wink: :wink:
