Dear friends,

I gather I have become a bit of a lightening rod when it comes to controversy in this Forum, and my opinions have distressed a great number of you. To that end, I have taken the trouble to delete a number of my post (mostly those dealing with the forbidden topic of white hose), where my opinions have been expressed perhaps too stridently.

I am sorry if I have given offence to any of you, and diminished your enjoyment of this Forum.

As I am also known as somewhat of a notorious snob, I have also gone to the trouble of deleting photos that may cause some to think they were posted to make others feel inferior, or misguided. That was never my intention. If my photographs alienated you in any way, I truly am sorry.

I look forward to following future posts, but you may rest assured that I will try my hardest not to upset the apple cart.

Best regards,
Sandford
