@SkankHunt Please take the time to hear my reply -- I mean well brother -- I know its long but its genuine.
To make you happy let me clarify that I agree the source needs to improve communication (and related computer-system/technical issues)
and I agree there was higher than usual seizure rate last year (in contrast, so far this year things have been great with the lowest seizure rate I have seen since I was aware of such details).
Thank you.
We all know I do much more than just say "please do not worry and use the contact us link on the website."
I appreciate the clarification and correction.
I have nothing against you either.
Actually, you are one of my favorite members here and I appreciate all your contributions (such as testing etc).
But please spare me the "It’s part of the job my man" because we both know I am not required to do this "job" or to help to the extent and detail that I do.
Also, you know that my effort to help people pre-dates any affiliation with sources.
I understand you we don't know each other closely -- so please allow me to at least clarify another thing so you may get to know me better:
I already helped people and it noticed so I was offered some projects (such as editing/improving the English translation of the print catalog); my attention to detail eventually lead to more opportunities and Involvement with the business.
I was offered opportunities to help some sources with things because they noticed how much I helped other people.
You may not see it my way and that is ok, but believe me that I am free to do what I choose with my time (including just not being online).
My apology if it comes across as arrogant (not my intention) but I feel like if I left it would hurt customers and this source (and other sources that I may help from time-to-time) -- I truly believe that my time and effort are positives for all parties involved.
With that said, I am getting older, have some health issues of my own, and have endured some life-changing events over the years such as loved ones passing (its life, we will all face set-backs and changes etc,) and do feel that I need to spend more time with family (parents are very old now and won't be here for ever), my household needs me, and there are just some other things I may choose to do with my limited time.
I'm also very passionate about some of the cultural and political turmoil and besides just donating to causes/organizations that support my values, I would like to do somethings more meaningful and get more involved making a positive difference in my community (at local and state levels).
There are just somethings, especially over these past couple years, that are so much more significant than our time in the gym, lifting, AAS, or interests here. Sometimes the little bickering here about AAS orders just pales in comparison to people being put out of work, businesses closed never to re-open, cultural changes, inflation, or major health issues etc.
For now, I am here to help and I do my best putting in a lot of time (helping everyone, both customers and sources). But, realistically, I'm getting older and priorities shift, I cannot see myself spending my days online like this forever.
@SkankHunt I have no hard-feelings towards you at all and I appreciate you as a member here.
I'm glad you hold sources accountable -- its very important to keep standards high and that helps everyone (including myself because I'm also a customer).
You're a valuable good member here and, not trying to sound homo, I like you.
Thank you for clarifying that I do put time and effort into helping people.
And, thank you for all of your contributions to this community.
