Attention all Board members

Jim Hunt: You are spot on! It's true...some folks here really do get uptight about rules and regulations. This is a volunteer Space "A" forum board, not the CIA. Let's all enjoy the benefits this board offers and be flexible to one or two mistakes that someone may make. So what if someone asks a silly question, my take is to answer the question and then very kindly and gently direct them to the right area. To DBM UK and DBM UK, Jr...my heart goes out to you and your family. May your mother/grandmother recover and continue enjoying all she can.   Garland Summerall Advanced Member Username: Garland Post Number: 242 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 206.251.6.185 Posted on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 - 02:28 am:    Sorry I miss the jr.Why don't we ask jr to be a substitute poster?Oil on trouble waters.

Some of them need to stop taking themselves so seriously. And someone definitely owes this family a very public apology. Just sayin'...   DBM UK Senior Member Username: Overlandrover Post Number: 5977 Registered: 04-2005 Posted From: 71.253.245.16 Posted on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 - 12:13 am:    To set the record straight. When I got the call from the RED CROSS saying my Mother had a stroke, and was needed, I did send Nelly a e-mail asking him to pick up the posting.He is the #1 backup. I am a friend of Vic and knew he was on a road trip. I didn't ask my Son to pick up the posting, as I knew it would be time to go fishing. Chris did ask me if he should post while I was gone. I told him he would have to use my password to log in. (like he said, I trust him) I can't see anywhere he posted anything other that what Dirk has set out in his rules and regulations. His only down fall was putting his Jr on the end. Since it is hard to get a connection in the hosp, I haven't been able to follow the board like I normally do. I would like to thank all the board members who has supported myself and Chris. I want to thank you for thoughts and prayers. Mom is holding her own at the moment. At 96 what can you expect, but she is like the energizer bunny.   Carole G Intermediate Member Username: Greengal Post Number: 139 Registered: 01-2010 Posted From: 68.205.151.181 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 07:37 pm:    Chris, We appreciated your efforts to post the Mildenhall schedule in your Dad's place. Just wish you had left the "jr" off. Anyway you did a great job. Maybe you should apply for the poster for Mildenhall. Take care and I hope your Grandmother does well with her recovery. Being a retired nurse, I know they can do some great recovery work with stroke patients these days.   ed caly Intermediate Member Username: Topshirt89 Post Number: 64 Registered: 09-2004 Posted From: 74.67.246.149 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 07:29 pm:    WELL DONE TO YOU AS WELL JR; THANKS MUCH...   Leland Senior Member Username: Leland Post Number: 6243 Registered: 05-2006 Posted From: 98.218.147.237 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 06:41 pm:    Chris, thanks for your efforts. As I mentioned in an email to your dad, your family is in our prayers. That said, you should not have tweaked the display name. What they don't know won't hurt them Not that I would advocate such a subterfuge of course.   John D. Moderator Username: John_d Post Number: 4498 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 95.208.80.143 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 05:43 pm:    Chris, The overlandrover account looks fine from what I can tell. If experiencing login problems you can try the Password/Registration Self Help link on the main page to see if that rectifies the problem. All the best for your Grandmother's recovery.   Vic and Connie Senior Member Username: Pattons Post Number: 512 Registered: 12-2006 Posted From: 72.218.14.250 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 05:36 pm:    Chris, I'm back home and will pick up posting MHZ this evening. Thanks for being so supportive of the Space-A community. We're keeping your grandmother and the rest of your family in our prayers. Vic (of Vic and Connie)   Chris Miller Member Username: Don_millers_son Post Number: 38 Registered: 08-2005 Posted From: 81.154.195.242 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 05:15 pm:    Good evening everyone. My name is Chris Miller, son of Don Miller. As you have probably gathered, Don Miller (DBM UK) is in the USA at the moment, tending to my sick grandmother. He didn't have time to contact Nelly or Connie before he left, so I volunteered to post the Mildenhall Flight Information in his absence. I have posted Flight Information a long time ago, under my "Don_Millers_Son" username and the now defunct "overlandrover_jr" username. However, since the restrictions were introduced, I have not been able to post for MHZ. I originally contacted Dirk and dinotars to be granted permission to post for MHZ. I only recieved a response from Dirk saying he was on a cruise, and I haven't heard from anyone else since. Rather than wait to be granted permission, I used the initiative my father instilled in me, logged-on using my his details (he trusts me!) and I picked-up where he left off. Perhaps unwisely, I tweaked his display name as "DBM UK jr" to make the distinction that it wasn't my dad posting. The username is still "overlandrover". The posting below on this thread (Monday 8:23pm) is actually from my father. Owing to time differences and internet access limitations, I haven't discussed this Message Board situation with my father (he's had better things to worry about). My last MHZ Flight Information posting was at 9:00pm on Monday evening. Since then, I have not been able to log in using "overlandrover" username and associated password. Can someone please tell me if the account has been disabled? Would anybody like me to continue posting for MHZ, or shall I try and get hold of Nelly and/or Connie? BTW, there's no flights scheduled from MHZ at the moment!! -   KSYR Senior Member Username: Ksyr Post Number: 656 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 74.33.211.135 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 04:16 pm:    SUGGEST THAT DBM UK jr DROP THE jr. THAT WAY I'LL THINK THAT DON IS POSTING   DENNIS D HUDOCK Member Username: Dhudock Post Number: 23 Registered: 10-2008 Posted From: 76.226.131.60 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 01:50 pm:    I love it! Sorry to see that Don can't post anymore he was always VERY helpful to me getting in and out of Mildenhall. Take care Jr and thank your Dad for all his help over the years.   Tony Cabrera Senior Member Username: Tonyc Post Number: 1574 Registered: 08-2006 Posted From: 88.18.139.222 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 10:59 am:    Please let's consider that whatever posters do on this board, be it flight schedules or regular postings, is for the benefit of all and what makes it more interesting is that it's a voluntary thing; we go out of the way to serve and help others. Therefore, I think we all, especially the leaders of the Board, should be a bit more sensitive towards the feelings of others. Let's all be human, for God's sake! Happy travels!   Tom DeMicke Senior Member Username: Typhoontom Post Number: 1020 Registered: 03-2005 Posted From: 211.121.74.150 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 10:06 am:    Nice words, Carole. Thank you! I think I was confused...is DBM UK Jr the son of DBM UK? I guess that makes sense now. Yes, let's all have some respect, be nice, and hope for the very best for DBM UK's mother. I trust that would be DMB UK Jr's grandmother? Am I on course here. Anyway...my best to all of them.   Carole G Intermediate Member Username: Greengal Post Number: 134 Registered: 01-2010 Posted From: 68.205.151.181 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 03:30 am:    Let's just all cool down. Our attention needs to be focused on Don and his Mom. Dinotars has a job to do, it just wasn't the right time or venue to do it. Nobody meant any disrespect , I'm sure. Tomorrow is another day. Let's look ahead.   dinotars Senior Member Username: Dinotars Post Number: 6701 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 173.169.151.24 Posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 02:30 am:    Garland, The Main Poster listed in the Flight Posting Roster for Mildenhall RAF (MHZ) is D.B.M. Uk not D.B.M.
