• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

A humble apology...

I pulled a full-on, face-plant fumducker. My apologies to Paul Dee, where ever you are, and unmentionable for making an incorrect attribution of the origins of the HH-43. In mitigation, the FS9 download I'd used was a bit short of documentation; IE: there was none, at all.
I should have, I suppose, pawed through 5 or 6 different data-bases of freeware spanning nearly twenty years and encompassing tens of thousands of files to find the originals; I did not. Mea culpa!
Another error, pointed out a great length and detail, was that after an author had granted permissions, I made the courteous and per SOP attributions to that author- in this case, the correct attributions. I found later, to my eternal chagrin; the author had decided after the fact and unbeknownst to this non-clairvoyant monkey, to change his conditions, viz, said attributions.
Fair enough, and his privilege; though I offer in mitigation that I am a miserably inept psychic. Try as I might, I've never successfully manifested reliable remote viewing, scrying, tarot reading, dowsing, telepathy or any other black or arcane paranormal abilities. One divorce attests to my miserable skills at reading minds!
I have been assiduously pursuing rectification, though the pace of said rectification has been deemed inadequate by the injured after the fact author.
If you please, patience is a virtue, and the down stream end of things is quite beyond my control. I have been something of a pest, I fear, in this bid to satisfy after-the-fact requests and changes. Accommodating moving goal-posts takes time.
So...sorry. Won't do it again, even if 'it' was un-specified initially. Sorry, I made a mistake. It happens.
I've never striven for perfection, a goal I've hewed closely too, an end I have achieved magnificently.
I'll try not to fcuk up, down, sideways, or otherwise at a bias, though I am equally certain I will fail.
I'm only a monkey, after all. God-hood, I'll leave to other, less capable hominids.
 
I don't know what this is really about, but I think placing an open apology is showing a good virtue.

Even more so when it is packed in a delightful and well written text :)


Cheers,
Mark

Read the 'delightful and well written text' a little more closely - it isn't an apology, but a tract of irony and sarcasm. Clearly the O.P. is not happy with said Paul Dee.
 
That's why I indicated I'm not sure, and insinuate that it was written as an "humble apoloy".

Well written it was in any way :) . A masterful rant encapsulated in an apology.

Sometimes I have an awkward humor, I must confess. Let's leave it that way.

Cheers,
Mark
