So Preston isn't what an idiotic statement made them out to be,rather there are some of us acting idiotic trying to make them idiots, I was not calling dmb3 an idiot,i only was trying to bring the idiot statement more personal as this thread seems like a personal attack on a certain business that did not deserve it. I was tired last nite & could have made my point a bit better if I had thought harder or had franco do the typing for me,as he certainly has a way with words.It is good to have a coal related business posting on here.Yea Preston. :) :)

And I for one hope you will maintain a presence here on NEPA. More the merrier I say. This is the site for coal burning no question about it. If you had been around here for a while you would see the "resurgence" there has been in coal for home heating. So please consider making NEPA a regular stop on your web surfing adventures. :D
I intend to. Pretty fiery group it appears. Glad to see people passionate about what they believe in.

Thank you coming to our defense, and other members for support that I haven't yet thanked. I'm surprised to find the discussion went through the wee hours last night. I suppose there been some air clearing and I'm hopeful positive feedback becomes the norm.

Some of those things on you're PC keyboard are called "alphabetic characters". One can use them to produce words. And then sentences. And then paragraphs.

And then post on a forum, like here.

Then people will be able to see these characters and words and sentences and paragraphs (for those who USE a plurality of these) and our brain can re-constitute the apparent thoughts of the first person. And then may do likewise write a response in kind.

Amazing.

Of course, it all goes to pot if the person writings can be interpreted in more than one way. The reader need not apologize as the responsibility for insuring that the writings conveys what it should is upon the writer.

Seems like a few folks on the forum write something that can be interpreted several different ways and then gets upset when the reader, who has no mind reading powers, responds to a reasonable interpretation of a written thought.

Not directed at anyone specific today.

Good Lord, an apt description of your own posts. You seem to really enjoy talking down to people from poll watchers, LEO's to anyone in general in authority of any type & I find that real sad.

more aptly applicable to you FF....

And gov't officials abusing their authority? I think that you simply don't understand the law. You might learn something new.

I am always willing to learn new things.

Well now that the Mutual Admiration Society has ended its meeting, I'm going to close this thread as I believe it has run its course and am locking it. I would like to thank the OP for his post as we have gained a valuable new member and have a new and improved Preston Trading Post. I thank all that have contributed.
