Please accept my most humble appologies for the two inappropriate posts I made yesterday. Thanks for straigtening me out. I will try not to post like that here at Susan's anymore. Once again, I am here to learn, not to violate the rules. It looks like I learned something yesterday.

Apology accepted, thank you Derek.  As you read through the posts on this site, you can get a general feel for the atmosphere here--let that be your guide.  If after careful thought you're still not sure if something you want to post is appropriate, then err on the side of caution. Use that nifty little 'preview' button before you post! Ask yourself if your subject matter, tone, and language were respectful.  At any rate we all make mistakes, so don't fret what's over and done with.

That's what the reputation system is for to help you figure out what is and is not acceptable. Your apology is accepted and I will applaud you for making it I hope you eventually decide to become a regular contributor. You might also consider selecting a new name perhaps something more friendly and personable than Male-CD   But I leave the choice of doing that up to you.

I applaud you also and accept your apology. I'm sure it was all a simple misunderstanding.

Hi Derek,

I think it might be worth trying again from scratch. Welcome to Susan's a place where friendship and respect are in abundance. We also accept that people are human and mistakes can be made.

So I look forward to making your aquaintence Derek.
