Firstly I would like to thank everyone for your very kind words for my first attempt at a natural fork slingshot. I believe it demonstrates what a wonderfully diverse, intelligent, passionate and - most importantly I believe - friendly community we have on the forums here. Thank you Aaron for establishing such a great community! When I have some more money I will definitely become a Site Supporter!

Especially as I was overly critical of a particular member's initial efforts at crafting his own - you know who are you, in retrospect I realise that my comments were unfounded and offered no constructive criticism or suggestions on how to improve. I am sorry buddy, and in only a very short amount of time you've managed to far surpass my ability to craft slingshots and I believe that you are only one small step away from being at the stage where it actually hurts to sell your slingshots, I'm sure all of the site vendors know that feeling all two well!

PS: When I have some spare money, I will definitely be ordering buying some of your products!

Hey, Sam, I have noticed the change in your attitude over the past weeks. This world is a little different than the computer-nerd world, huh?
Nice to see you getting it.

Sam, you are a great member of this forum and I think you have just shown your ability to show compassion and responsibility. It is a pleasure to have you here with us.

Hi Sam
Dont know your age but looking at your picture say late teens early 20ts
It takes a big man to admit he was wrong for the miss led comments
the maturity you show is sadly lacking in a lot of the young people of the uk today.
keep on posting as much as you like if your having fun thats grate
all the best
Pete

I have realized that sometimes reading something someone wrote you can also take it way differently than it was intended. I am sure you meant well and the words "came out wrong" as I find is most often the case. Your natrual was awesome by the way. I wish I could find a fork that symmetrical!

That is very true, that in combination with things like cultural differences in humour (for example British sarcasm,) can make it possible to wrongly infer a perfectly innocent comment as malicious, my policy is to always give the poster the benefit of the doubt though.

I should probably be writing another of these, right?

 

[USASlingshot]

I will agree with everyone so far. You have deffinitly took a change and now ur a pretty cool guy

please make more slingshots I would love to see them

 

[whipcrackdeadbunny]

Nicely put, but we will have to see if this is flummery in the future. No bad deed should go un-punished I feel, but no good deed should be forgotten.

British sarcasm! No, I can't believe that (oops that was American Sarcasm). I think most of us in the US really appreciate British humor, Top Gear is very popular here. Sam I think your first effort was great,and your posts have always been interesting.

I don't think that's accurate. And what's "Top Gear"? Never heard of it.

Personally, I like "Doc Martin" and own all the "Fawlty Towers" CDs, and I used to watch "Are You Being Served".
But most of the people I know don't think these shows are funny. OTOH, almost everyone I know thought "Monty Python" was.

Don't know what all this means, but you're still a good bloke in my book, Sam.
