An explanation and an apology

Certainly my friend Hanno has suffered through a number of situations with me such as posting 5 PMs to try to get a web site address to him. I have been guilty of many similar lapses of proper syntax, grammar, spelling and of course my dumbness in figuring out who posted the pics Hanno led us to on the thread on the Ford engine pic request.

Bill, if anyone needs to apologise it is me, not you. Very impolitely, I don't always answer e-mails, even if it is to say "thanks for your five messages on the same subject" Struggling with my PC is one reason, finding time for my various interests in between work & family is another. Not a good excuse, but be sure it isn't because I want you to bug off. On the contrary!

Regarding your condition: my dad is in his 70's and has had high blood pressure for the last 12 years. I'm happy to tell you than during a recent check the doctors established his condition has not worsened over that time, due to taking care of what he eats and medication - this however has changed a lot of the years. One time he consumed huge quantities of carotene which made his skin look like he was sunbathing all the time! All I wanted to say with this is that if a certain pill does not work for you, go to the doctor and get another medicine.

Bill - and Cliff - hang in there, keep up the good work you're doing here and elsewhere and let me know if I can help. From now on I will give your messages top priority.

All the best,

Hanno

P.S.: As for short term memory loss, isn't it nice to make new friends every day?
