In my defense I didn't see it until AFTER I replied to your prior message. If you notice the "quote" marks -- it directly correlates to your prior message. When I clicked quote & reply to that message -- that message was the last message showing on Talk and your so called "apology" hadn't been posted yet.

Now I am normally a glass is all full type of optimist; and would take things like that at face value as you really meaning it. But it made absolutely no sense coming where it did in the thread. Had you gone back and deleted/edited your prior post and said you were apologizing; yes I would have seen it as such; but to do so only a short time later without any responses or apparent outside "force" making you change your mind -- I honestly didn't believe you.

After I had responded and then read your follow up -- I decided that I wouldn't bother responding since if you were sorry my point was made and this hijacking was done and the thread could live for its original purpose. If you are really sincere I'll take the apology, and then you can leave the thread alone.


This would have been an acceptable first post in accordance to what you are implying this thread was in regards to:
...
THIS Is what you posted:
"Who has an invite? Somebody send me an invite! This is my email address... send me an invite!"
Wow talk about a re-write: what I posted was:

If I manage to track one down; I'll also check this thread for others in the maemo community that want one.
I stated my need, I gave ALL the information needed to fulfill the need, without wasting peoples time and their was a thread already about a month ago on Google Wave and its potential on Talk -- I don't really think I need to duplicate what it said, nor did I need to hijack it for "my" purposes.

I asked nicely; and I also informed the community that if I managed to track one down I would attempt to share the wealth with the community so that others could get it if they so desired. This was the thread so that we could share the invites -- it had a stated purpose and until you joined it was at least at worst making a list of people interested, at best may allow us all to get on GWave.


And btw ... your advocating on behalf of the "person" with email [at] website.com for their email address is just rediculous.
Ridiculous it is not; I would highly recommend you read up on netiquette -- that is a "rule" you just don't post others email addresses. You also don't go and hijack threads.

Nathan.
P.S. If their is a Moderator; can we pull all this "garbage" out of this thread and put it in a new thread and leave the original thread in context for what it was for. I don't mind feeding the trolls in another thread but, I would rather get this thread back to its stated purpose so others will feel like they can request also.
