Subject:      Re: I am out...

Hi all, First I had I very bad day yesterday, some very bad personal news, so I sincerely apologize for that post, "I am out". Still, I am a bit pissed out right now.

Second, the e-mail that I receive yesterday was an accumulation of bad one.

I also finish working at 3:30am and that is when I receive a somewhat official!!! E-mail that didn't please me at all. I partially misread this one due to fatigue (I won't post this one here to be politically correct). Still, lately I had more than my share of stupid e-mail (in relation to my site) from various people. Yea, believe me, it's true. Especially from uneducated person that don't like my written English, don't tell me to bug off with my English, I would like to see you write in another language all day and have some stupid comment on something you do for free. I could post those here but I think it's inappropriate. (I kept the worse 20 e-mail I received!!!!) Maybe you can't believe that, but that is a fact! Especially one yesterday in regard of my fridge-fan section. Some of those, I am pretty sure are from member of this list.

Believe me I don't need those. When you do something for free, you don't expect some negative e-mail. I know, it is not your problem, it is mine and I have to deal whit it. Subjective e-mail are always more than welcome. Joke and ironic stuff are more than OK too.

Maybe negative e-mail affects me too much but that is the way I am! Well I am French, what do you expect.

At least I have some very nice e-mail and that is the only reason I am keeping my page.

I simply think that sometime some people have no manner or are simply jealous.

Maybe some of you wonder why I am passing so much time on my site. Well I am webmaster, I work 12-15 hours a day lately, so I am in front of a computer all day, when I am not I have to bang on something so I do mechanic, you see the relation now. That's all the free time I have those days, Web-site, banging on a car or van and some fun with my girl on weekend, one weekend with my girlfriend every 2 weeks, that how I am busy those day. So when I take a break in the day I have some fun reading the list post or working a bit on my site, yes that is not really a break but I have to stay close to my computer for order and complaint from customer.

I would like right now to be fully able to express myself clearly in English but I can't. I don't know all the exact words and expression in the Shakespeare language right now to express myself clearly.

Another thing about my language, it's double work for me to do my site in English, I have to think in French first, write in English and try to correct my written English after. Second, I have to convert everything in the Imperial system from Metric system and last I have to convert our lower money in US $$$.

I also take the time to answer most e-mail question about my personal site and that's on top of the e-mail from my company (model airplane), or all e-mail from my web-design company. So for those who want to piss me off, retrain your self, no need for that. Don't get me wrong, the nice e-mail i get from my page are makes my day...

I have been a bit rude on this list once, and only once. I fully apologize for that, this is not my style at all. I am a very polite and understanding person most of the time, but when challenge or push to the limit I can be a damn pain in the ass.

I didn't want to get your attention with this post and I am not the kind of guy who makes threat to get attention; I don't need that at all. I was just pissed off. I receive 46 P-mail this morning in regards of that subject, I did not have the time to read those, I am sorry, I will later.

Good day gentlemen's Regards, Ben :)
