sebastian.melmoth Posts: What all the fuss about? A sober post.....

Ah, perhaps that's a reason for your previous posts...

[Mar 26, 2006 - 07:51 AM]

I just reread my previous post, as I was advised, and to tell you guys the truth,

As least your vision of it.

I saw absolutely nothing offensive about it.

As Gomer Pyle would say ”Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!”.

There was humour

Yeah, must have been there between the title, the retraction of the title, the misinformation about how exclusive your watch is because Omega engraved the serial number on it's movement (Good heavens!), the back patting about buying a new watch, the put-down of everyone else who hasn't. The namecallling (which no-one get's), bashing those who have other models, and your assertion that your manifest claim is better than documented fact.

One just has to look for it!

and wit

Or something that rhymes with it.

and thats about it (except rgoldberg, thanks, I didn't realized Chuck looked so good).

Perhaps if you read my posts... You'd realize how good! =D

Really some of you guys need to get a life!!

Nothing offensive at all... [<-Sarcasm]

or rather you should get a better watch.

[koff!] Nothing offensive at all... [<-Sarcasm]

I'd recommend the latter course first.

Coming from such a manifest authority... I mean, how can one lose.

For the ones that doubted I actually have the watch, trust me, your only dreaming.

If you say so. I suspect many of us just aren't especially worked up about who posted what first as you are.

If someone can tell me how to attach a picture to a post,

Put the URL into the field offered in every "new post" or "Reply" submission form. It is really rather simple. Rookies do it all the time around here.

I'll give you a picture of the watch and receipt if needed.

Whatever... I suspect many of us aren't worked up enough to care much. I mean, congratulations, again, enjoy your watch and post pictures if you want.

I disliked that holdemchamp 1225 showed such sour grapes at me being the first to claim ownership on this forum.

Somehow, I suspect you most dislike holdem's posting pictures of his new purchase which upstaged you. Especially considering how easily bruise-able your ego seems to be...

I believe that holdem pointed out, quite correctly, that he too was an owner, from the previous day, and he was the first to post pictures of a TZ'er owned Rattrapante.

For all we know, Holdem' may have walked out of the store with his Rattrapante before you did. Not that any of the rest of us are concerned about such trivial hairsplitting as you seem to be.

For what it's worth, I know I wasn't the first (nor the last) to have purchased a Split-Second's Speedy. I know I wasn't the first, because I host the review of the first person whom I am aware of purchasing one on my web site. I know other people have bought them since. [shrugs shoulders] So?

Very unsporting indeed.

But only when compared to your sportive posts. [<-Sarcasm, not my belief if anyone's wondering]

For some respondents, you really deserve nothing less than Chuck reposting his pics of his valjoux split second speedy, case back removed, if possible.

Wow, I'm mentioned twice in the same message! I wonder (to quote ole Jake Blues):
“What'd I do to piss you off, this time, baby?”

Especially considering I've only responded once to a post of s.m previously, and that was to congratulate him and offer assistance if needed to get pictures here.

There sure seems to be a lot of anger in this Pseudonym...

I'd make you all admire that masterpiece for an eternity.

Boy, the jealousy is just thick in the air today.

I want to thank Keith. You are an oasis of civilty in this wilderness.

OK, everybody, remember: if your name isn't Keith you are a uncivilized barbarian prick, and TZOF is a something south of a wildlife preserve, a jungle at best...

I think the extra treament the movement number receives and its prominent positioning on the movement did call for notice and comment.

and all the rest of it too it seems.

I thank you for making some allowances for the fact that I was beside myself after purchasing this splendid time piece.

Ah, so now the real you is showing through. We see.

As bruising as it may seem to your ego, People will likely remember certain things from this affair.

You claimed to have purchased a Rattrapante.

Holdem' was the first to purchase a Rattrapante and post pictures of his it.

The (ahem) manner of your next and subsequent posts...

Do you know who Elisha Gray is?

Elisha Gray founded Western Electric back in 1872. He also demonstrated a liquid transmiter telephone a year before Alexander Graham Bell had any success with his own telephonic experiments. Mr. Gray filed a patent caveat (intention to file for a patent) two hours after A.G. Bell filed for his patent for what became known as the Telephone.

Which is why it's called "Bell Phone System" and Bell is generally credited for the invention of the telephone. Bell won because he filed first. Bell filed for a Patent first, Holdem posted pictures first.

I suspect that Holdem' will be remembered for his posts, and the manner in which he posted them. And you will be remembered for your posts and the manner in which you have posted them.

Just as I will be remembered for my posts and the manner in which I have posted them.

And so it goes...
