To All The Members...

...I want you all to know that any and all of the Threads and/or Posts that I have in the past or will continue to make in the future are posted for the humor that resides within them! They have not been and are not intended to be attacks of any kind, on anyone! That is not who I am.

I STRONGLY believe in an American's rights to say what he or she believes with their Freedom of Speech. I will be the first one to stand up for those rights, for anyone. I fought in a very bloody war to make sure we continue to keep those rights. I will be the first to stand up for other's rights to express what they believe. I don't have to be in agreement with what one believes to "fight to the death" to make sure they never loose that right to express those beliefs.

I know that reasonable adults can debate their differences with respect and and still be friends after that debate. I don't much care if its politics, religion, sexual preference, detecting methods, or which type of detector is the best! There is no good reason to resort to sarcasim, insults, or foul language. The Every Thing Else Forum is an excellent place to express your beliefs, tell a wholesome joke or two, or discuss anything not related to metal detecting. Please folks...we all should be able to laugh at ourselves, and at other's jokes. Life is to short not to.

For those who have been following the posts over the past week or so, I am sorry that you have had to experience some of the language and inferences that were used in those posts. I tried my best, several times to ask that gentleman to "clean-up his language" but he declined. he is no longer here, and I believe....rightly so!

For those who have supported me in this unfortunate sequence of events, you have my unconditional gratitude. I love TreasureQuestXLT as I know you all do, and I have enjoyed all of the Friendships and REAL people I have met here.

Let's keep this Forum a FAMILY ORIENTED PLACE, lighten up and enjoy the humor, and learn from each other how best to further our skills and sucess in this awesome hobby.
