This is incorrect! You need to refresh your memory George; this issue is not
in reference to pointing things out on this newsgroup - you do that all the
time - but as to the personal e-mails I receive from Ray in his quest to
apparently keep score. Even though you were apparently not paying attention
again, at least I stayed away from going the private e-mail route. Now,
let's more on, that is unless you want to continue to make a mountain out of
a molehill.

Now, as to the actual press release, Deborah was quite excited about this
opportunity when we first learned about it a few days ago.

I would definitely be interested in doing this if it weren't
on Carnival.

They have a similar thing on Princess and maybe other cruise lines also.
As I recall the price was about $75 per person.

So let me get this straight...

1) When Ray sends you a private email saying "already posted", that is
horrible, causing you such anguish that you have to post about it here
on r.t.c... whining about how badly Ray is treating you.

2) When you post on r.t.c. "that was already posted"... that is entirely
correct and aboveboard... not petty or petulant. In fact, you should be
commended for staying "away from going the private email route" and
posting basically the same message in public.

I am sure I speak for all the readers of r.t.c in thanking you for
pointing out the difference between the way you are offended in
private email and the way you try to graciously correct other people by
doing the same thing in public.

Your logic is a thing of beauty and is something not often found in this
newsgroup. Thank you for sharing... we are all better for your
participation.

Please don't speak for me George. I can do that on my own.
As to logic, no matter how he tries Johns responses are
emotional not logical.

While I have lost respect for John, I have little for Ray
either.

John and Ray both correct others as do most people here.
They difference from my point of view is John makes sure
everyone knows he did it, and then points out why and how he
has been maligned for doing so in the past.

John, however, like it or not actually asks questions and
spurs dialog beyond just posting and saying I read this
somewhere and thought you might like read it as well.

If John would shut his damn pie hole some times I could
stand him better. At least Ray isn't a nag.
