Hi Thorwald,
I am glad we worked that out. I suppose in the future I will not want to
make any similar remarks as this to the whole room, but since I am new
here, I think it would be dishonorable of me to fail to reach this
closure.
As to the Master of the Klingons, I make no secret of the fact that he is
totally without honor, boastful, obviously self-satisfied, and needs to be
challenged. Mostly, for his lack of consideration for the ignorance of a
newcomer such as myself, whose status as a newcomer he should have known,
if he deserved to be Master. For does not a true Master know who is in
his Assembly? Does not a true Master know as soon as anyone new is on
the List? His belated welcome means nothing to me. I break wind in
his general direction! To have allowed me to embarrass myself is not an
honorable welcome. I say he is probably an Earther, posing as a
Klingon. That is my challenge: prove to me I am wrong! (Though I must
say the makeup job looks realistic.)
I also suggest that on your website you make it really even more crystal
clear to dumbos like me that when they sign up for the list they are
talking to EVERYBODY. Many people besides myself also probably do not
understand that.
Best,
Christopher
