Clarification may be needed...

An event was created to celebrate craftsmanship, creativity and it was called the Consours...the photo is of the trophy presentation and I went to a lot of trouble to get an article published about Mike and the Black Magic in the 2/2007 Fly R/C "Departure" column.

The tens of thousands of "clickers" on this thread may not be aware of the sincere efforts created, executed and communicated to the non pattern community.

The variety of posts, perspective of the writer and language used may not always communicate the intended message. Some individuals seek folly and joy in the condemnation of others...behavior I do not and have not supported.

Additionally, a personal and public history may be maintained between the primary author of a thread or poster of a reply. I have replied, initiated posts that may have been misunderstood or misinterpreted by those not familiar with the typical reader of a thread.

I don't understand all of the humor and concepts connected with the "Kool-Aid" thing and just assume when my name is connected, it is meant to be funny or humorous, which is great. I think it is clever, funny and assume that it would not be discussed on this thread if it were not intended to be humorous.

My point, I wish to provide a positive experience to those around me. It is not clear to me, but I hope "I" am not the "...surprise ...person ...to hijack...the thread..."

Now, having said that, I think my pink shirt would do a good job of hiding the pink koolaid if it spilled?
