Re: Unusual board grain (masame floor board)

OP's quickness to anger/frustration seems to have come in part from the incorrect assumption that a human moderator saw and read his post and deemed it pending for approval, rather than the reality that all posts from new users are automatically placed in the pending approval state before any human ...

Re: Unusual board grain (masame floor board)

[…] the ridicule was instantaneous. Uhm, my reply 10 hrs 30 minutes after your last post is not what even slow-thinking I would call instantaneous.

So… you’re new to the ’net? In that case I apologize. For me, it was just a tongue-in-cheek answer.

And for future navigation of the internet I’d ...

Re: Unusual board grain (masame floor board)

No, the approval of the original submission took 8 hours, and then approval of my follow up note about the missing photos took 5 minutes. And the ridicule was instantaneous.

Re: Unusual board grain (masame floor board)

Careful, attitude indicates he might not get the humor.

"Canuck", with the moderators being volunteers, you need to be MUCH more patient awaiting a response. Days, not hours, is a more reasonable expectation.

Oh, so that's what passes for humour in these parts, is it? You guys should be on TV. I ...

Re: Unusual board grain (masame floor board)

A waste of time all round. No apparent way to contact an administrator and my previous message, like my initial one, was moderated for approval without the moderator appearing to notice what my comment was about, do anything about it or reply to my e-mail.
