    to the seller of the 2998-6 with the soldered movement. It was terribly wrong for me to point out the rust and solder and general saltwater damage on your watch in the sales forum. (even though the seller asked me to educate him) I'm a bad man.

    That may or may not be. :p We still appreciate your knowledge, and sometimes even get your sense of humor!

    Actually has nothing to do with the seller, its just that when someone else does it (comments their 2c on the sales forum) I don't want to have them go and say "But Patrick gets to do it bla bla"

    If you want to comment on it in /this/ thread, you're 100% welcome to, and you can create a separate thread to a sales forum item in Open / General Omega / Vintage Omega topics where relevant discussing anything you see and take exception to, just that for being crawled by search sites and ease of reading sales forum needs to be kept to an Ad -> Price reduction -> Sold notice structure.

    So its not /what/ you say, its /where/ you say, and its not the seller you disturbed, its Feng Shui and overall Zen of the sales forum you see? Don't mess with my Zen. :cautious:

    That was a serious question. Has anyone been banned from this site yet? I'm willing to be the first. Don't get me wrong...Ash and Trev seem like great guys...albeit, Aussies. And Dennis isn't all bad. Here I thought I was behaving myself. When I'm banned, I'd better not see my GI Joe photo as Ash's avatar.

    Only blatant spammers have been banned so far. Actual members? zero. :)

    Hmm but then they get all snarky and I have to actually do some work chilling them out all because of a facepalm smiley, I'm all about making less work for myself, not more :p

    BTW from now on Patrick's dedicated babysitter is Dennis, you get to be like Tom Cruise in Rain Man.

    But that's the funnest part! [​IMG] We get to use our "Lighten up Francis" stuff on them when they get huffy.

    The Sheriff ain't no babysitter.

    And why isn't anyone concerned about "chilling me out" ? I'm MAD, I think, and I'm a noob. I demand some soothing words to calm me down.
