I'm back, for better or worse

[CPNE]

From my coronation. <-- This was meant to be funny.

Getting serious now...

Anyway, it seems as if a small number of members have taken some of my comments to heart, so I feel the need to set the record straight.

I'm not quite sure how my opinions could upset them as much as they apparently have, especially since they are usually tempered with , :p , or . To me, these "smileys" denote humor, sarchasm, or tongue-in-cheek comments, not meant to offend or be derogatory. I guess if you read the comments, but fail to read between the lines, you could come to a false conclusion.

Some good natured ribbing (or so I intended) has escalated far beyond any intent I had. To diffuse this, I'm offering as public apology to all members who feel I've insulted them or their particular tastes.

Furthermore, I have absolutely nothing against customization OF ANY KIND. Though I do not subscribe to that school of thought I don't SERIOUSLY think what you choose to do is wrong. No more than those who prefer customs, should label those who like to maintain the "stock" look as "boring", having "lack of imagination", or failing to think "outside the box".

This is not to say that I won't continue with my attempts at humor as I feel this board is intended to be a "fun" as well as informative forum. I also will continue to have "opinions", but they are just that, "an opinion", not a personal attack. I simply ask that if you do have a problem with any of my comments, PM me, I'm sure it can be worked out. Please don't make it your "mission" to "get even". Please remember "Boz-All" is a fictitious character, not intended to bear a likeness to any board member.

If you read my signature, you can see I'm even having fun with the new "title" bestowed upon me. I could have taken offense to it but instead have chosen to "embrace" it with humor.

I think we can all get along. Thanks for listening.
