[TheForge] Age of Iron- what fun ;-)

Mon Jun 2 23:35:01 2003

Reynolds,
You've just stirred up a tempest in a teapot. It was not necessary to post
your message over one e-mail. I believe you to be wrong in your opinion,but
so what. Even if you were right, it still wasn't necessary to get into a
snit over one e-mail. I've been subscribed to theforge since it was on the
old university server and I've seen these little upsets come and go. I've
seen smiths come and go on this list. Some I'm sorry they went, but I've
stuck with it. The good outweighs the bad for me. Besides, I can judge
pretty quick if I need to delete.
Normally, I just ignore this nonsense, but I just back from Ironfest
conference and it wasn't that much different of an experience that Phlip
had. I had a hellava good time and if I had shared that, would you have
jumped on me? Hence, my response.
My advice is let it go. Life is too short.
That's all I got to say about it.
Rob

However, verbose narratives unrelated to smithing, tools, marketing etc.,
which include descriptions of meals, weather, fond memories and other
subjects unrelated to blacksmithing are, well, not cherished by this reader.

a post and that does not occur, then I feel like I have wasted my time.
