A couple of days ago I started a thread about responses to post. I would like to apologize for my comments. By far every post I have made and researched have been positive.

The thread has been closed and I sure understand why.

I cannot re-track what I said, but would like to get back in good standing.

I am only 74 and on my third project and I still have a long way to go.

Thanks, Dave.

There once was a man from nantucket
He liked to catch rabbits in a bucket
Remember nothing online can be taken seriously
If you do you'll get an ulcer that will start to bleed

That's ok, we all make stupid mistakes. I'm one of the worst about speaking (or in this case- posting) before I think.
I like how you said that you are "only 74"

I would think that at 74 years of age, you're pretty much entitled to your opinion. LOL I'm 59 and my family and friends would tell you that I'm somewhat opinionated myself. I have no idea where they would get that view...

I haven't been a member here long but probably spent a good couple of months just reading threads. When I did buy my 69, I read through all the threads that pertained to what I had questions about and saved them on a favorites list for future reference. I don't have the knowledge or expertise that so many have here, so my "view" count is much higher than my "post" count. LOL. Imagine what owning one of these C3's would be like without the knowledge here? Thank you to all who make this forum what it is.

I been guilty of posting some comments that I wasn't proud of as well. You've manned up and admitted your mistake.
That speaks volumes for you.

On the age issue. I'm sure we could all use some of your input from your past experiences.

Dave at 74 you give me hope. As for your thread I read it and didn't think anything about it. Everyone has posted something off the mark at one time or another. Good luck with your project.
