    I suppose it's only a question I can ask myself and I feel that I do.
    In Spanner's etiquette thread my comment about folks crapping on other's sales thread was inappropriate. I made the comment when a SS member sales thread had to be cleaned up because of a failed ebay auction.
    If I offended or pissed anyone off I am sincerely sorry.
    When I joined SS I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread and still do. However, at times the mob mentality seems to take over and it is not a pretty site in my eyes.
    But that is only my opinion and one I should have kept to myself. I am only a guest here and see it as a privilege to be a part of this community. I don't want to have the reputation of being an ass.

    My sincerest apologies go out to everyone.

    You can't be responsible for the way others choose to react.

    Unnecessary apology not accepted.

    Wait until you actually insult somebody before saying sorry. Making a general suggestion about trading etiquette doesnt qualify for an apology.

    I must say though that its rather refreshing to see someone from the US display some humility. :)

    I still don't exactly know what you are apologising for?
    If it is for your opinion, then a friendly reminder that that is what forums are for. Without opinions the forum wouldn't amount to much.

    Well I'm glad I can amuse by being an apologetic American. I was only being courteous and I'll leave it at that. :)

    I do not recall the events you are talking about but a person humble enough to consider others and be open like you have. You are OK in my book.
    relax. and let the good times roll.
