Pearls . A rose by any other name
I believe the translation of "thick" as used by ted in this case is #5 in
your Merriam-Webster Online. ( Obtuse, Stupid ). HeH! -- Don Thompson Ex ROMAD "Peter W. Rowe" wrote in message ... On , in rec.crafts.jewelry "Ruth Wiseman" wrote: Ruth? or Rozita? are you one and the same? Ted Frater. Hi Ted, I hate to break this to you but not everyone whose name begins with R is the same person. Are you 'Tess' at weekends? I was just exercising my divine right to express an opinion. I didn't realise I was treading on hallowed ground . Most of the time I am too busy making jewellery to involve myself in playground tantrums. Besides, there are a lot of thick people about. Hmmmm. I didn't realise this group was moderated by MENSA......... Ruth Ted, Ruth, Abrasha, and others... No, the group isn't moderated by MENSA, just little 'ol me. Please remember that part of the charter I'm supposed to follow in moderation the group is the bit about not allowing personal attacks. You guys can get a bit testy if you want, and bicker gently now and then, and I'll allow it. But try not to get actually nasty, OK? That, I would have to stop, and I don't like doing that. And Ted, for the record, while there may be some thick people around, due to the overabundance of high calorie snack foods creating an epidemic of obesity in the U.S., (heck, I'm a few pounds over what I'd like to be, myself), I would suggest that lower intellegence or stupid behavior isn't related to "thickness". Or to much else. Some of the stupidest things I've seen people do, or say in this group, have been from those of you whom I am quite sure are reasonably intellegent or even above average. And a certain lack of tolerance exhibited by some readers for those who may be beginners in jewelery or to the net, seems especially common among those who've most likely got the brains to know better... In short, try to relax a bit folks. Moderating the group is my job. If you want it, talk to me first before jumping in. I'd be happy to let you do it, but then you get to do the whole job, not just the back seat driving. Peter |

You've got a good news server as regards retention times. The message you replied to here was posted on September 5. Over 7 weeks ago. Pretty good... cheers Peter |

Over 7 weeks ago. Pretty good... cheers Peter Backed up in my reading. I submit to you that it sometimes becomes neccessary to practice ones craft to the exclusion of the simpler pleasures just to remain afloat. Let alone get your head above the surface. Or perhaps I just got a lucrative and quite interesting consulting project through the door. HeH. More than just semi-retired Mining Engineer specializing in Explosive Engineering I can pick and choose the projects I consult on. This one produced some exciting findings. Gold and Silver plus other "sweeteners" in a vein that includes some pretty nice Jasp-Agate, blood red with swirls of clear Agate and clear jelly Agate with swirls and clouds of blood red Jasper all with the inclusion of VISIBLE crystaline Gold and feathers of Silver. The specimens with easily discerned metalics in them have been skimmed for sale as collectible specimens but the whole vein has enough metal in it to make a mine with the very beautiful Jasp-Agate as the ore. Netcom was bought by Earthlink a long while back and just this past month or so Netcom subscribers had to switch from Netcom news servers to Earthlink servers. So I am on news.west.earthlink.net this month. The process entailed doing a complete article wipe on my machine and reset so that I had to download all the old articles and headers available on the server. I don't know how retention times will look next year but this instance has some very old posts. I have been reading a lot of stuff the last couple of days and a lot of it is hillarious. -- Don Thompson Ex ROMAD |
