There you go again, harassing me for no reason at all.

I apologised for the mildest of incursions, if it was one at all. So you
use it as an excuse to insult and abuse me again, and again and again.

AML,

Most of us here are trying to live long enough that something like a heart
attack will kill us before prostate cancer does. We support each other in
that vein. While we are dying, or afraid that the next PSA check will
confirm we are dying, we have interlopers who come in with their spam. They
want to sell us Viagra; or mortgages; or virgins; or a lifestyle that has
absolutely no chance of saving us.

So, when we see yours, some of us get pissed. Not all. Or maybe not one.
But some.

So, please do not feel so abused here. If you are legit, you just stumbled
into the wrong forum.

Actually, this whole thing seems to me to be an accumulation
of misunderstandings.

As far as I could see AML never made a commercial posting to
the group. California_chief completely misinterpreted what he
wrote.

Also as far as I can tell, Heather never meant to criticize AML.
She was simply speaking in general terms and AML mistakenly
thought she was attacking him.

So, everybody be cool. We're all in the same boat.

AML, welcome to the group. Please don't be put out by the
misunderstandings. Everything is fine.

Alan

Well said, Alan. Thank you. Hopefully all concerned will let the
misunderstandings be in the past and continue to provide support under
the conditions you so accurately describe.

Another personal anecdote related to the circumstances we all
face.....

When my mother went in for removal of a cataract at age 75, the docs
discovered that she had a genetic heart condition that would have
caused her to go to sleep one night and not wake up - and they were
pretty certain it would happen sooner rather than later. (Her mother
and two siblings had died under similar circumstances between the ages
of 74 and 76.) Mom got a pacemaker and is doing great, now at age 86,
with a hip replacemnt in the meantime. I'm happy for her. For
myself, if I can make it to 75 (11 years from now) and die peacefully
in my sleep rather than be eaten alive by cancer, that would be a good
thing! Better than being run over my a Mack truck, I think. :-) If I
make it to age 75, I will have lived 23 years after first being
diagnosed and having RP. And so far the quality of life has been
good. Not bad.....

Welcome, AML

And hopefully the thread about rules in the usenet (an almost perfect
anarchy) will die soon.

My best to all,
Burney

I was aware of that probability when I responded to her. I am so satiated
with the abuse I am getting from alt.support.cancer - which is entirely
gratuitous.

Thanks Alan, but which group? I have allowed myself to cross-post in
ignorance, which is another failing, probably worse than the original.

Ah, I didn't notice the cross post.

I'm posting in alt.support.cancer.prostate.

Sorry. I'm getting a lot of abuse from alt.support.cancer -> sock puppets
pretending they don't know what AML is and accusing me of mental illness.

Call me a sock puppet, cuz I don't either. And, I'm a member of NAMI.

Jerry......I didn't even see what the heck it is you all are arguing
about. And if I did, it certainly didn't seem to me to be out of line.

I am not into abusing people for internet mistakes because Lord only
knows, I make enough of my own.

In other words.....life is too short for this sort of thing and I am
sorry you thought I was insulting you.....I wasn't.

The spammers are on all news groups and I killfile a few with
discretion. Obviously I didn't consider you to be one because I saw
this post and am answering it and assuring you that I did not mean YOU
when I made that comment.

Whoops.....I even called you Jerry instead of A M L.....I most

Apologies to AML for not being clear enough with my rant on spammers.
It certainly was not directed to him or Jerry.....grin..

I was taking my frustration with others out on you, and for that you are
entitled to an apology.

I am sorry. Please forgive me.

Not to worry. And I do accept your sincere apology.

As for AML, I have now looked it up and sorry to hear that. I was
getting it mixed up with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).

You will notice that I have cut out all of the other news
groups.....perhaps you should cut out any that are giving you grief.

Cheers.....Heather (and I have been to Manchester, grin......well, got
lost there and ended up in Stockport. I will hold my tongue, lol)
