I just went over the "I am this old" post. As with everyone, some of the postings do not interest me and so I don't go into them. This was my opinion of the above thread, until I started thinking about the fact that I found out Dougal is 12 years old and I had responded to him in a couple of my posts on the U.P. trademark issue as if he was an adult. I did this, because I had no idea he was not! That is one of the short comings of this media. I think if you are talking to the person face to face, you are a lot less likely to flame them! I have seen folks on here flame people, for no real good reason. This is likely due to the fact that we don't use our real names and can play with this forum "incognito". Given this information, I want to turn over a new leaf and say I will really attempt to be congenial when dealing with you all. <br /> <br />Dougal, I apologize for my caustic remarks and hope you can understand that I am simply a crotchity old 53 year old!!! I am super impressed with your ability to use this media to get your points across and am very happy you are interested in this hobby, in this day and age where kids seem to only be interested in instant gratification. <br /> <br />Mark DeSchane
