invitation to become a member of DRAFT

fairwinds and Oorang,

oh, my english is to bad for this :oops:
it needed two replies (fairwinds + oorang) for me to understand that my quote fairwinds used was not sounding how I meant it
I really respect the choice of people not to display their avatar: what I was trying to tell - hope this time it's better phrased - is that the people who prefer to stay anonimous don't express their reasons, but instead are kinda laughing at the concept (I don't feel respect when reading those replies)
isn't it a sign of our actual world that people seem to be embarassed with this kind of invitations ?
anyway perhaps I do not get the american humour yet
I think the idea in the original thread was to just issue an open invitation.

respectfully,
Erik

Hang in there Erik - this is a noble cause! I also agree we should respect peoples wishes to remain anonymous.

So why did I change my avatar? Two reasons : I thought Erik had a good point and secondly, given I am on the other side of the world from 99% of the MrExcel members, I'm as good as anonymous anyway. That said, the likelihood of meeting fellow countrymen is pretty slim unless I purposely seek them out when travelling. And last time I checked, there weren't any stalkers on this forum.....:biggrin:

Andrew :cool:
 
Oorang,
Great post, security issues, malicious intent, fraud and just plane meanness are real things to be fearful about on the internet, so I too respect any level of participation from members and like you, I weighed the avatar issue before I chose to post a real image.
 
I had no noble purpose in mind when posting my avatar. Just thought it would help me pick up chicks. I don't understand why it isn't working?
:devilish:
 
Hmm, I feel the need to drag out a suitable photo - shame, 'cos I rather like the parsnip in my avatar...
 
rofl... Maybe you could have a picture of yourself WITH a parsnip :biggrin:
 
No parsnips to hand, unfortunately, and truly crappy picture quality too! But do I qualify for membership of DRAFT? :)
