Mr. Jacobs, This is going to be short. You will not have to leave the list, as I will leave now due to your thoughts. I just hope you do realize some issues in this world are more important then others. Hope you all enjoy your list. I will not be participating in it no longer. Thanks Mr. Jacobs, you have been the only person whom got so offended by these comments. You really stick out in my mind. Mike Chappell On a final note - It is amazing how you can judge them being abrasive or not with words, and without emotions of a physical voice, the main failure of the internet, so many different interpretations of a sentence. -----Original Message----- From: owner-apisto@admin.listbox.com [mailto:owner-apisto@admin.listbox.com]On Behalf Of Mike Jacobs Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2001 8:18 PM To: apisto@listbox.com Subject: Re: advertising discussion is over.. You know Mr. Chappell....there have been people here on this list for oh .....4-5 maybe 6 years (myself included).....we have seen the trouble that you seem to push off as something silly........you remind me of a little kid who doesn't have the wisdom to listen to his parents and then after something happens you might respond with something like....."wow, it didn't realize"............before this I was not angry.....I was simply pointing out the rules that I was following and some of you folks were not...................it was as simple as that...........my mistake for showing you the rules and asking you to follow them.........I must assume you know everything and you are one of those people who think all rules are for other people.......................may I suggest you start your own apisto list and you can set what ever rules you wish! I tried to make the e-mail to you and the group as non-abrasive as I could.......I didn't think I was abrasive (I re-read them) and I took all of your responses as simply not understanding, but then you write.................... "- People truly need to look at the major things in life, and not so much the small things. We have world issues on our hands, and we are worrying abut whom is POSSIBLY plugging their url. We need to relax on the little things in life, and worry on the larger. Thanks -And I am back to APISTO INFORMATION ONLY:)" .............I sense a bit of you being much more knowing and understanding of this world that everyone else.................be careful sir, you might be embarrassed.......I will cut it off here apisto people. You folks are the best of a good world........I apologize folks but I get sometimes too angry when people make assumptions. It is for sure that this world of the internet has made "heroes" of all of us in our own minds.....where in fact there are only are real few......... ........tell me "Mr. Jerry B".......without fully understanding the consequences of why a rule was instituted......what would your mother have said for you to do when you were the only person following a rule.........................to not say anything and don't follow the rule.................I would dare say that that is why the world is like it is today......if you don't like a rule just don't follow it and hope everyone else does the same....they probably will. Thanks John..........some people step forward because what is right is right.....it takes a solid foundation to do that folks. ............as a last thought, don't start your own list........stay here......it's easier for me to leave.....I have met some serious friends here over the years.......such a shame..................I remain respectfully, Mike Mike Jacobs Center for Advanced Technologies High School Math Instructor St. Pete, Fl. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Chappell" <chippell@sgi.net> To: <apisto@listbox.com> Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2001 5:52 PM Subject: RE: advertising discussion is over.. > Ok, beat me up, but let me say one thing he had to mention his biz as well. > So to me that is as wrong.
