| You don't walk a Husky. You get towed on a sledge. :-)

Yes, I couldn't believe it when I was reading that people use them for sled
racing in this country! :-)

You don't even seem to understand what I was referring to in my
explanation. I DID use a smiley! I quote;

"This is a newsgroup Bill, these are not private messages! ;-)"

I apologise for missing the smiley which is irrelevant when you consider
the patronising element of the sentence. You made it personal by
including my name in it.

You protest too strongly, and I never -EVER called you a liar.

Why do you think I misunderstand what you wrote. I understood it
perfectly - it's the reason for your explanation leaves me wondering
seeing as this is ground that has been covered by reams of explanation
in the past.

I don't know what I'd do without Microsoft! Imagine a working world without
Windows, Microsoft Office programmes, etc.

I don't have to. I've been working all day with computers since the
1960s, and my current employer, no slouch in computer technology,
since ours was once the largest intranet in Europe, doesn't use MS
products. We run an operating system that looks and behaves much like
MS to the user, except for security and reliability.

We've called him Draco, and this photo was taken about 2 weeks ago. He
seems so much bigger now, he's grown so fast!

I wanted to call him Rocky, but my girlfriend was having none of it...

That's one cool dog!

p.s. Just got a dog, a Siberian Husky puppy, so I'll be doing a lot more

catch me posting in OT Atkins diet threads anymore! ;-)

Don't make long walks before the dog is 6 months old. The dog can develop
problems with his skeleton. (hips, elbows, knees, etc.) Walking for 15
minutes on a regular basis is much better than walking for an hour (or more)
per day. After 4 months you can increase distance and time. Running beside
you if you're bicycling is possible after 12-18 months. Again beginning with
15 minutes.

Hi Ste - a bit of backing here for my e-mail to you.

Hip Dysplasia can be a problem in later life if the puppy is exercised
too soon.

I'll bet you can't wait to let him go :-)

It wasn't irrelevant, I was trying to lighten the tone. I will
apologise for the patronising comment, I didn't want it to come out that
way but I couldn't think of a better way of phrasing it, so I added the
smiley to try to prevent you taking offence.

Quoted message said:

That comment was personal, but my original comments which you took
exception to weren't.

Quoted message said:

That's a lame argument. Are you suggesting that innocent people
shouldn't protest their innocence? If you don't protest you're guilty
and if you do protest you're guilty! Burn the witch!

I'm protesting strongly because I'm telling the truth. Why would I lie
about something so trivial?

Quoted message said:

You implied it by refusing to accept my explanation.

Quoted message said:

Because you misunderstood what I wrote.

Quoted message said:

No you didn't, otherwise why did you refuse to accept my explanation?

I have a theory that, if you mix with a lot of people then you build
up immunity. I teach in a college and though I get sniffles, getting
a full blown cold is rare.

Yep, that's probably right, but it's probably also the case that it
takes a while to build up such an immunity.

Quoted message said:

Would I be right in assuming that Paul spends a lot of his time alone?

Yep, but then again I've always been prone to catching colds, even as a
child. When I first started taxi driving I caught a lot of colds, same
thing happened when I worked in a school for a year a few years back,
but a year wasn't long enough to build up much immunity, same thing
happened at the end of the year as winter came around again.

The doctor has put me on regular flu jabs every year, had one a couple
of weeks ago. Couldn't be the after effects of that could it?

well, I've only ever had real flu (I.e. the kind where I couldn't move
for about 10 days) once. The same year I had my first flu jab.
Needless to say I've never bothered since!

Why did you chose to write in what otherwise would have been a

been the cause of this problem. Nothing more.

I don't wish to continue this argument, and in fact I wasn't going to,
but it seems that futher explanation is in order.

Quoted message said:

No, the cause of the problem was your previous message, where you said
"You could have fooled me!", indicating that you did not believe my
explanation. I took great offence at that, but chose not to let my real
feelings known at that point. Instead I wrote my badly phrased
"patronising" reply as a light hearted attempt to convince you that I
was telling the truth.

Unfortunately you then took offence at my badly phrased reply, so I had
no choice but to make my real feelings known. It was not intended to
sound patronising, it was simply intended to support my assertion that
my comments weren't aimed directly at you.

I'm surprised that such a glib remark could generate such ire.

The whole episode has taken on disproportionate importance in your eyes,
and your penchant for explaining things has only served to exacerbate
the situation. Leave it there Paul.

I agree with Theo - leave it rest if you can.

As you are aware, I haven't been feeling too well over the past couple
of weeks. I'm not trying to make excuses but I have been suffering from
headaches and tiredness recently, so I probably wasn't in the best mood
when those posts were made. In retrospect I admit I probably
over-reacted.

Quoted message said:

Gladly.

Feeling tired now, but from today's walk rather than my cold, which
seems to have just about ended. I've been feeling a lot better since
yesterday.

Well it rained most of the time, but not heavy, and there was no wind,
so it didn't really bother me (a bit paranoid about my camera though, so
I didn't use it too much).

Unfortunately the latest reports are promising rain all day tomorrow,
and winds too.

I'll be heading to Pant y Gadair tomorrow (Judith is there now, she
decided not to stay at Porth yr Ogof) but if the forecast is correct I
don't expect to have a welcoming fire ready for Judith's return. Maybe
Friday though.
