Upon further review, I wish to apologize for casting the net so widely. The bulk of the posts were decidedly benign.
To answer your questions Jax2, it's not the subject of the thread that I objected to. Quite the contrary. I really get a kick out of learning what other common interests we share. I've enjoyed such threads as "What does the typical audiophile drive" as well as "Who R U?".
My issue was with the way some people use this forum as a platform for posturing and ego-stroking.
Again, I my comments were unwarranted and inappropriate as they were directed at the group as a whole and I apologize.
There were, however, a few gems that I'd like use to illustrate my point. If you still can't see it, Jax2, then let's just agree to disagree.
Here they are:
..."just ordered the 36 foot fast trawler from Rockport Yachts (www.rockportyachts.com). Anyone want to buy a Robinhood 33 downeast poweryacht?"
..."Bicycling (am having a Seven Cycles titanium bicycle built to order w/Campy Chorus groupo-$5000)."
..."the girlfriend and I are about to spend a week in Santiago, Chile tasting Cabs. Mircrobrewed beers - hmm, three out of four obsessions so far are alcoholic...
...Then there's my main passion - which is, of course, passion itself. The girlfriend and I won't be spending all our time in Chile touring wineries..."
..."Fine Wine - 100 cases in long term storage."
And finally, from my own post - ..."I stayed away from this thread for the past several days assuming that it would just be a bunch of self-absorbed braggarts and snobs engaged in a "mine is bigger than yours" pissing contest."
See. There weren't nearly as many overt boasts as I had indicated and I apologize for casting aspersions on the bulk of you.
Final thought - I still fail to see the John Holmes/Donkey humor, but obviously well-hung donkeys hold a special place in Jax2s heart. And who am I to take that away from him?
I believe we've gleaned some insight into the significance of your moniker, JaxASS! :-0
