I thought this was going to go away, but it's still lingering and I"m not sure what to do here.
First to Monte and Wayne, I apologize if you thought that I was leaving you out in my post this morning. I have talked to Spark more then I've talked to you both combined. And he was the one that emailed me yesterday to tell me that there was a big problem going on.
I'll be quite honest in saying that If given the choice between the two I'd take Spark's friendship over posting here, and there would be ZERO hesitation on my part. To disappoint him with what he took as mis-leading him and this forum hurts more then anything else, because Spark is one of the most awesome human beings I've ever come in contact with.
So I made it a point to try to make things better with him. That was my main focus, and I apologize for making you both second and third fiddle.
I understand where you all are coming from with what you have perceived. I respect that because i understand it's been done before by another member and its almost like "here we go again" when the perception was made here. But reality is not perception. My intentions was not to undercut Monte or this site whatsoever. I was not in any competetion with him at all, nor wanted to be. I said that from teh first time I decided to try this. My question is, there has been NOTHING that I have done before this that could lead you to believe that I would be under-handed, so Wayne why can't you give me the beneifit of that doubt on that? Why can't you put yourself in my shoes and understand things from my point of view?
How much respect do I have for this site, and the people here? I closed down my feeble attempt at a forum in a matter of a minute because I wanted you three to understand that there was ZERO malice on my part. And I did...and it's done.
I understand there was some uncertainity about the super bowl contest that I helped run due to the emails that I would get from members. I said it yesterday and I'll say it again... not one person who emailed me about the super bowl contest got received anything regarding my service or forum or whatever UNLESS they had emailed me directly before to inquire about my serivce at a preivious time. I made sure of that when doing all this. I took extra measures to make sure everything was on the up and up. If anyone received something from me that inquired about the super bowl contest that hasn't already emailed me before then I'll leave now and not look back. That's how confident I am that I did that contest the right way.
i just want to move on here....somehow. Wayne, Monte and Spark you have extended a lot of curtousys my way. It's been much appreciated and not un-noticed. I do apologize if I singled one person out more then the other. You must know that I appreciate all three of you very much, but I'm not going to lie...the relationship I have with Spark which was the best, and now I'm hoping to maintain means more to me then anything.
I hope this is the last post regarding this. I hope we can move on and continue to win the books money.
