Hi everyone.

First, I would really like to make clear, that Jared and I made a combined decision (maybe 60% me, 40% him or 90% me 10% him or 20% me 80% him, who knows?) not to do anything about the frame because we THOUGHT/GUESSED/MADE-A-CALCULATED-RISK-DECISION/POSTULATED that the envelope with the bubble wrap would be enough to withstand the contents from any bumps along the delivery trip. So, we guessed wrong.

As much as I'm very sorry to WB for having gotten a cracked frame, I don't appreciate being blamed/semi-blamed/sarcastically-blamed for something which happened which I had absolutely no intention of it happening (why would I want to give WB a cracked frame?) and of which I had absolutely no control of it happening.

Secondly, I also do not appreciate being labelled, I quote, "voyuers" and "Selfish pricks". If I do not post, it means I do not post. It does not mean that I do not care about everyone here. In fact, I very like to know updates on what everyone is doing and appreciate us sharing our lives to somehow keep our friendship together even though we are so apart.

But what it DOES mean to me, is that I do not see how I can ADD VALUE to anything in posting aimless comments. Maybe its because I have my own blog and I post about happenings in my life there. Want to know what I'm doing? Go read my personal blog.

If I ever do post here, it means that there is something that I would like to share among us only and not for others. Something that is relevant to US as a group and as friends. You guys here do enjoy a certain amount of exclusivity in my life (no matter how small it is) and precious thoughts about being with you all are like diamond rings which are kept in the drawer, only meant to be admired every once in a while but always cherished at the back of one's mind.

Which brings me to my last point. Again, as much as I hope not to impose my personal restrictions on what you guys post, I feel uncomfortable with some (only a small few not all) of your postings. To put it subtly, I hope future posts would be more secular in nature. Hrm. Don't understand? Go read up the dictionary of the meaning of "secular".

Hope you all understand. And if you do understand, understand from my point of view. And if you all do understand from my point of view, thanks for understanding.
