This weekend I got back home to California from being overseas for all of
February. I came home to find massive storm damage on my property, tree issues, shingles blown/torn off the roof, and all the various related costs that insurance won’t cover. So as of now I am looking at somewhere around $7K-$10K to fix things. I was lucky the tree didn’t hit the house. Then this evening I watched the NatGeo documentary “Free Solo” documenting Alex Honnold’s mind boggling free solo climb of El Capitan at Yosemite. That put all of my issues in perspective. Both the climb and the cinematography of the climb are simply jaw-droppingly amazing, and worth seeing. Just be warned that if you have vertigo problems, extreme heights are involved. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/films/free-solo/ -- Regards, Savageduck |

Due entirely to your own actions; he completely ignored my warning concerning you, and, you didn't let me down. G -- Hipatitis (n): Terminal coolness. |

I know EXACTLY where we are! Where are we? We're lost. |

Once something is 'out there' it is there for good and you cannot control it. That does not mean that it is in anyway acceptable to hijack a thread, and add cross posts when they were not intended to be a part of the OP. I did not X-post my original to uk.comp.sys.mac or comp.sys.mac.system as it had nothing to do with Macs, or iOS devices. You probably didn't know that there would be any kind of problem when you made your initial post. There wasn’t any problem with my OP. That only materialized when you added your piece. Why do you think it is OK to hijack threads? If you have a problem, start your own new thread! You posted a link which has caused problems for other folk. Now you are lying. The YouTube 360 link was one you posted, not me. The only link I posted was the NatGeo link. The "other folk" that experienced a problem was you. As for me, I have to further refine my filters/killfile. No, you don't. Yes I do! -- Regards, Savageduck |

I did not X-post my original to uk.comp.sys.mac or comp.sys.mac.system as it had nothing to do with Macs, or iOS devices. You probably didn't know that there would be any kind of problem when you made your initial post. there was *no* problem whatsoever, up until you showed up. Why do you think it is OK to hijack threads? If you have a problem, start your own new thread! You posted a link which has caused problems for other folk. he did no such thing. as usual, you are lying in an attempt to cover up your despicable actions. As for me, I have to further refine my filters/killfile. No, you don't. You need to be civil and more caring of others. I did consider adding the Mac groups back in, but decided not to do so to demonstrate goodwill. I have no desire to 'fight' with you. you can demonstrate this supposed desire by not altering posts, or better yet, not posting at all. |

I only pick up fragments because of killfiles, but it looks very odd to me. -- Cheers, Rob |

There is no civility among a handful of flooders. Sadly true. Unfortunately, lack of civility is becoming a trend. I have a theory as to why, but will not state it here. I prefer to stick to photography related issues. -- PeterN |
