[comp.sys.apollo] Public apology

richard@gryphon.CTS.COM (Richard Sexton) (08/19/87)

I've been taking a bit of flak from some Apollo folks who think I'm
a meanspirited malicious dweeb. Let me clarify some things:

	1) I love Apollo and Apollo computers. They are my absolute favorite
           Need I say anything more on this ?

	2) What I say is WHAT I SAY, and should in no way reflect on
	    Danford Corp., my current employer. If you think I'm a
	    jerk, fine, I can live with that. But dont let that stop
	    you from placing that P.O. for 400 SEU's. :-)

	3) When I talk about 9.5 trashing disks, I'm deadly serious,
	   as this loses mass quantities of potentially valuable 
           data.  When I talk about ADUS sig groups throwing sticks
	   and spears at Apollo reps for non-delivery or promised
	   items, take it with a BIG grain of salt. We all have lunch
	   together afterwords. Wer'e still friends. Honest. Really.

	4) So, if i post something and is really irks you, you are not
	   seeing the implied :-)'s. I'm a nice guy, really. A bit
	   strange perhaps, with a pretty twisted sense of humor....

	5) Dont take life (and the net) so seriously. To borrow
	   a quote from soc.women: "Lighten up, girls".

	6) I get flamed in comp.sys.amiga for all my "this should be
	   more like the way Apollo does it" statements. Sheesh. 
	   Sometimes a guy just cant win.

In all deference, I've also heard an equal number of "gee, I like your
stuff on USENET" comments. I just wanted to post this to clear up
any misconception this I dont hold Apollo, or its computers in 
highest regard.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled newsgroup....
