Bad penny has returned

[medlynn]

Hi PDC peeps.
Have been gone for a couple of years. Went to Phuket for a couple of winters. Looking for a winter home. Phuket too busy. Have to recheck PDC.
Looks like Dean missed. Very good. Hope all is well in Chetumal. Was down there fishing.

Could you clarify the pronunciation of Phuket for me?

Wow - I have a sister teaching over there in Phanat Nikkhom, she's on me to come visit but I'm afraid it's just too dang hot there.

Hey Ready T Rock. Phuket is pronounce 'Pooh-kett'. I must have put this in a wrong thread. got bawled out by some rude son of a gun.
Now that we are introduced, maybe we can chat about experiences in PDC some day.

I appologize for what was probably a bad joke on my behalf. The only defense I can offer is that I absolutely cracked up when I saw that name. I hope you can understand my attempt at humour.

I absolutely love PDC. I've had so much fun there, probably more fun in a few visits than any other place in the world.

I hope that "rude son of a gun" doesn't scare you away, because the vast majority of people frequenting this web site are very nice, and just want to be helpful.

Sharing PDC experiences would be a pleasure...

You're quite right. You did indeed post your reply in an incorrect thread. If you are responding to a question, it's probably advisable to answer in the same thread in which the inquiry is made, or it loses its identity and reference. All I could see was;

Since this comment was unconnected to anything else in the thread in which it was posted, my reaction, which was intended to be a helpful proposition, was;

Seems to me that would be a more appropriate venue than this, where the primary goal is introductions. You're much more likely to find folks who are interested there, than you are here. Just a thought.

I was rather hoping you would start that thread, as I have an acquaintance who just built a condo in Phuket, and I would have been interested in your observations. I apologize if you consider my comments "rude", but I would also suggest that if a remark as moderate and innocuous as that offends your sensibilities, you're in for a rough ride around here.

Well said Bumper

Hey Bumper,
Upon further review, you are absolutely correct. I must have been tired and cranky when I wrote that. I apologize.
Skin is really thicker than that. Glad you all there and all right.
I'll think about the Phuket thread.
