Watchman, and everyone, err.... sorry I did not read all the preceeding discussion of the deletion of the corfid map after, as John put it ... the "run-in" Watchman had with me.
I would rather have thought it the other way around (at first), but I sincerely feel I am the boob if the umbrage I took, followed by the umbrage Watchman took.... err.... well caused retraction of the first map. That explains why I could not get into it on first try and looked at others instead. Do I understand this sequence of events correctly ? Boy do I feel stupid...
I sure feel silly that two nice GL fans could take issue with one another over such a little thing, I feel bad about this and take responsibility. Watchman - (Al ?) - your inclusion of this interactive map thread was certainly a great idea and I applaud you.
I was not aware of it or its subsequent withdrawal until now, AFTER reading my previous enthusiastic map-guy waxings posted just before this.
Watchman (Al) - please accept my apologies for not graciously accepting your straightforward and well-meant constructive critique on my addmitedly hard-to-read starting stuff. You were right ! Everyone - don't worry I am not starting the "umbrage" tack again.
Rather, I humbly apologize to Watchman AND the group if my unwarranted lashback caused such a loss at first (or when ?) of this wonderful addition to corfid by Watchman.
Watchman, please accept my apologies and a tip-o-the-hat on the link to this interactive geo-coded satellite mapping engine. I am very sorry to over-react, as I look back and read. You are to be commended.
Al please do not think I am being a sycophant or am being disingenuous when I retract and about-face on former ramblings of mine that hit a bit too hard on my part. Keep on with the cool work and posts ! To Gordon !
Sincerely, Steve Dunbar DA mapster...
