GG,

Some seemingly disparate thoughts, yet I think related: As others have already mentioned on this post, your apology, whether really needed or not (I did not read the “boiled” post) was a classy thing to have done.

My first apartment in college had a concrete floor, an old clothes-wash basin for a sink and a toilet and shower sitting out in the middle of a room with the center piece being one of the old octopus stoves. It was far from glamorous but it was part of my first step into adulthood and my future. I loved it. TV is a few steps above that beginning point.

Now, is TV perfect? Nope, in fact nothing is perfect except for heaven itself, but since I am still on this side of there, TV is good enough for me. If 1/10 of 1% are unhappy that’s 120 people who live here who are not pleased with what is offered and lived out every day in this remarkable town. Certainly each of us could eventually encounter one of those. Whenever I run into an unhappy person, I simply wish them a happy rest of the day and I move on. They will not dampen my “TV spirit”.

There have been a number of posts in this string from some of the most respected posters on TOTV and I agree with what each has said about your reputation and contribution to this site. I would like to think that the original “boiled” poster would read your string and respond. That would tell us all a lot about that person’s character and maturity.

GG, keep up the good work. See you in another post.
