If you read through the FAQ page, you will see the option to edit a post.

Sometimes less said the better but move onwards and upwards you will find there is a lot of usefull information that filters down through this site and one can then take it and adapt it to fit into the structure of where they work.
Good luck

No one is a fool when it comes to learning from your own mistakes. No one is perfect and even the smart ones make mistakes. He or she who thinks they can't make mistakes are the fools.

Jannette you have shown a lot of courage with the writing of this post. Don't be to hard on yourself you have learned a wonderful lesson. Do what Brad suggest's an edit the original if you haven't al-ready.

We can all learn from each other.

I wish you well.

Has anybody ever read the FAQ? I mean, it is so much more time-saving just to ask Brad all questions which might arise and waste his time instead.

[Edit: I removed my original post upon request. Which pretty much makes this thread entirely pointless. So, sorry to you all. And thanks]

Wait.... what happened? [uhoh]

Too late...you gotta read every topic, every day if you want to keep up with this place! [Smile]

(I missed some of it too...damn editing feature.) [Big Grin]

Posted by Thomas Procyk (Member # 1170) on 09-17-2003, 02:33 PM:

Is there a feature we can add so people can't edit their posts until I read them? [Smile]

=TMP=

Posted by Manny Knowles (Member # 1171) on 09-17-2003, 03:52 PM:

I guess this is now a thread to visit if you want to experience a dose of confusion.

I, for one, think it's a wonderful idea.

No, really...What happened!!!???

Posted by Mike Blakesley (Member # 26) on 09-17-2003, 04:56 PM:

Jannette (above) made a post in another thread which she came to regret making, so she started this thread to apologize for that post. Then Brad informed her of the editing feature, so she edited the whole controversy out of existence, including the title of this thread.

Posted by Manny Knowles (Member # 1171) on 09-17-2003, 05:37 PM:

Any second now, we should hear the padlock come down on this thread.

Right about....

...any second now...

What is this "movie" thing you people are always talking about? Some sort of public entertainment I gather. Is it better than the gladiator contests?

Posted by Jim Alexander (Member # 226) on 09-17-2003, 11:13 PM:

This is starting to sound like a Soap Opera

Posted by Jannette McQueen (Member # 1885) on 09-18-2003, 03:31 PM:

Well, Mike Blakesley was correct for the most part. I made a post that, yes, I obviously came to regret, actualy been very ill over it. So I got rid of it the first change I got, tried to apologise by making this thread, but I was informed that was out of line as well, so I got rid of that post.

Anyway, sorry to add the confusion.

Posted by Bruce McGee (Member # 131) on 09-18-2003, 06:35 PM:

No problem here. We need a little confusion here at F-T. Makes for an interesting session on the computer.

Posted by Manny Knowles (Member # 1171) on 09-18-2003, 07:05 PM:

In the words of Phil Collins: "This is the land of confusion!"

Well, not really, but every now and then I need to use that quote. [Smile]

I thought that I would just post here since everyone else seems to be. Trying to boost my numbers and all.

This thread reminds me of a poem I wrote several years ago (and this post increases my post count by a drastic 0.085763 percent [Smile]

):

Poem 41 (March 7, 1996)

I was going to write a poem
but now I have a doubt.
Because it helps if you have
something to write about.

If your brain is empty
and no thoughts are flowing.
A poem can't be written.
So I might as well be going.

Posted by Mike Blakesley (Member # 26) on 09-19-2003, 12:58 PM:

I forgot what I was going to say.

Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 09-19-2003, 01:00 PM:

And this is why editing your post is a good thing, yet removing it completely is a bad thing. It just makes posts like this linger longer and gets people talking about what happened, because few can resist gossiping about it.

Posted by Michael Gonzalez (Member # 593) on 09-19-2003, 02:26 PM:

Oh yea in case any one is interested. I think that Jannette said that everyone in the Film-Tech family sucks, they have no lives and all secretly LOVE digital projection but don't want to admit it. So no wonder she deleted her post. [Big Grin]

I think that there was some other stuff also. Anyone remember the rest?

Posted by Michael Schaffer (Member # 1204) on 09-19-2003, 03:11 PM:

I think there were also some negative comments about Christie platter systems.

Posted by Jason Black (Member # 684) on 09-19-2003, 04:30 PM:

You mean there are positive comments on Christie platters??????

[Eek!]

Posted by Mike Blakesley (Member # 26) on 09-19-2003, 05:05 PM:

<== This one has been running since 1980 with probably less than $100 in repair costs. The only thing I've replaced on it is drive rollers and light bulbs.

Posted by Phil Hill (Member # 371) on 09-19-2003, 05:20 PM:

I wouldn't think of posting something here just to increase my post count.

Are you referring to the platter or the guy in red operating it?

I'm not a pheasant plucker.

Posted by Michael Schaffer (Member # 1204) on 09-20-2003, 06:14 AM:

This seems to be the right thread to simply let go of all reservations and just say what you always wanted to say:

Phil - you (removed.)

Posted by Thomas Procyk (Member # 1170) on 09-20-2003, 09:58 AM:

Oh, I was under the impression that someone must have said something WAY out of line, like mention the "Ache-Pee-Yess Fore Tausend" sound system, or that Strong platters are superior to Christies or something like that...

Hey! I know... Let's see what it takes to get THIS thread closed! [Wink]

The platter, I guess...I've had surgery 3 times (including 2 hernias probably caused by lifting film cans) since that platter was installed, so I've probably had about $15,000 worth of repairs done. [Smile]

Posted by Phil Hill (Member # 371) on 09-20-2003, 01:43 PM:

Oh yeah, Mike! Well, (removed). And then Brad (removed). Then of course Joe, Aaron, Clint, and Bob can also (removed).

Have a nice day all.... [Smile]

Phil, sounds like you've had your brains (removed). [Razz]

Well Tom, at least I have/had a brain to remove. More than I can say for some others...

Posted by Manny Knowles (Member # 1171) on 09-20-2003, 10:49 PM:

All right...good question -- what's it gonna take to close down this thread?

Posted by Mike Blakesley (Member # 26) on 09-20-2003, 11:36 PM:

Somebody's going to have to post something really pointless.

something really pointless.
