The Daniel Collection - website update

Mike Thanks for the kind words - yes we like all of them immensely and as they are displayed on pretty much every flat surface in our home, that is pretty much vital! If you ever find yourself this way - pleae let me know. Visitors [usually] welcome by prior arrangement - we also can accommodate and will be delighted to share the pieces with you first hand. Not an empty offer as others will attest. If there are any particular pieces that you would like a larger image file of - please contact me off list and I will be pleased to help wherever possible. Kind regards

Jonathon

PS You might want to continue this off-list as it would horrify me to lose my pompous ass tag or otherwise correct the "inflated ego" status I am so carefully cultivating.

A charmingly naive hope, but utterly unrealistic. When awkward navigational controls make it difficult for visitors to view the pieces on display, you can hardly expect to receive only compliments on the artistry, and no brickbats on the site design.

Or, perhaps, they just get tired of futzing around with non-intuitive controls, and leave without saying anything.

If it really makes no difference to you, why are you going to such great lengths to tell us that?

If your many posts today are any indication of your UK bretheren's attitudes, I think the newsgroup is better off without them. We have enough warts here to go around.

Ta!

Ah the patter of the broad brush.

Larry - read what you like. You have a problem with active involvement

- or just a long thread?

The reason many UK names stopped coming in here is on account of some of the asinine commentary (read the threads) in what was originally intended as a help forum. Warts - clealy as I am writing to one, I can but defer.

Who is Jono?

Do we have this added to the nfilter dat file yet? I was intersted when I read the write up in the AAW mag, but after the attitude and trash talk, I'm getting tired of hitting the (I)gnore button.

Not yet... but I think I'll do it soon. It's pretty easy to filter a certain pompous gasbag, but not quite so easy to filter responses to his posts without filtering the same people when posting in other threads. I'm sure it's not a difficult problem to solve; I just haven't done the necessary research yet.

Dang it! You owe me a clean monitor! :-)

off to hunt for the windex again, grumble, grumble

Aww - y'ole pompous gasbag!

No. We afford people a little more civility and professionalism this side of the pond - usually.

I somehow don't think the problem is the thread, maybe both threads have something in common. Any ideas?

Yes, I'm pretty sure you are.

We have phrase that seems somewhat fitting here - takes one to recognise one Mr Miller
