WOW...talk about ATTITUDE! Having a bad day Howard? [QUOTE]Originally posted by howardm4 Right. Everyone other than you has a bad attitude. (Where did that come from?)JS I re-read and it wasn't until post #12 that you gave any indication that you actually owned a Quick machine. By post #16, the HHI guys joined the fray and it went essentially off topic. (Time between post #3 and post#12 was one day (2/21)ie the next time I logged on - that was 12 days ago)JS You don't know me from Adam. I've spent countless days at the field and hours at my house setting up and helping new people. (I know you're not Adam...I too have helped many newbies over the years - planks)JS I *do* however expect that people will be honest and display even a small amount of initiative in searching out information and doing some of their own legwork. (Indeed I did just that...if you read the thread...you would already know this)JS I believe you would have gotten a much different thread if you upfront mentioned that you already had one vs. what we all assumed was a 'should I buy this' question. (Thanks again...I'm learning everday...but we all know what 'assume' stands for)JS I never included myself in the Pro category nor would I ever. (A self-fulfilling prophecy - I guess? I apologize directly to you Howard for misunderstanding what you meant when you said "And people wonder why some of the boards are filled w/ nothing but newbies and where anyone who knows anything went." JS As I see it, you asked a veiled question (not knowing what kind of can of worms it was going to open) hoping to get responses from people. Those people, out of their own sense of wanting to help, responded. (Thats right - I didn't know, and have continued to thank all those who replied)JS And when things started getting ugly, you copped attitude. (The only time I copped attitude...I openly admitted I was wrong...and have continued to thank everyone for their input.)JS How selfish of you to say that after anyone helps you that we are 'free to roam' cause you didn't get the answer you wanted. I'm sure that the next guy(s) to want help will appreciate it. (Obviously my response was targeted at you and you only because you blamed me for, and stated "Jim, Thanks for wasting all our time and effort. I'll know better (I keep saying that ) next time. " This had nothing to do with not getting the answer I wanted.)JS I'm not planning on going to Bham but I wouldn't be interested in meeting you even if I was. I'd be too busy helping people. [/QUOTE] Well Howard, thats sad. I for one am willing to admit my mistakes and apologize for them. As well I'm mature enough to work out misunderstandings and go forward. I'm sure you're a great guy and an asset to this hobby. Well...so am I...new to heli's though...but I WILL someday stand with the Pro's and assist the newbies. THANK YOU HOWARD FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS THREAD! I still hope to meet you someday and put this misunderstanding behind us. If your choice is to reject my sincere offer, then indeed you, Sir, are free to roam. And I don't mean 'go somewhere else'. I mean you are free to 'come and go as you please'. I am truly sorry for reacting to your post in such a manner that irritated you so, but your post irritated me as well. Let's be friends here! I'm over it! Sincerely, Jim
