First off let me explain how the Google Blog software works as this is different from a normal forum type situation.
Any comments added to a blog entry are not made public immediately like on a forum. When a comment is posted the blog administrator receives an e-mail with the comment details (who from, text of comment etc.) and then he/she has the ability to “Publish” or “Reject” the comment.
This is why some people may not see their comment for quite some hours after posting it. If for example someone in the UK posts a comment when it’s the middle of the night here I won’t get to see the e-mail till next day, this can be up to 8 hours or more given the time zones.
I agree with the majority view that I should just ignore all this as I have done in the past with such individuals.
Maybe I’m a bit naïve but I’ve not encountered such a level of nastiness directed at such a personally level before.
As a bit of therapy I have written a review (yes me) of the panther projects latest media event, the YouTube “Terry’s downfall” video, enjoy.
My comments in the DVD review addendum say all the rest, so let’s leave it at that.
And to the sites future?
Unfortunately the present hosting arrangement has been terminated and the site will be offline either tomorrow or the next day depending where you are in the World, sorry.
The bottom line is I need a break having been doing this single handed for 13 years as well as the current health issues which have not helped dealing with all this other rubbish.
But I will find it a new home and it will hopefully be back on line as a reference site within a week.
There won’t be any real updates for a few weeks as I take time out hopefully giving me time to recharge and might actually build a model just for the hell of it.
When the updates resume it will like a new beginning and as such I will again post news of DML kits along with every one else. As they say the ball will be in their court to see if that continues.
Thanks again for all you messages of support, really has been gratifying as well as humbling but does help put things in perspective. I have never made myself out to be any sort of expert on anything other than a simple modeller trying to make honest assessments of kits available to those who want them.
If others want to put labels on me that’s up to them but I have no illusions at all and know full well if I did go away in a few months people would be saying Terry who?
The hobby is far bigger than one person or a few cockroaches.
Cheers
