) , and after reading it over, I understand how it sounded to you. I do think there is a problem with people using aliases and then making posts that are rude, high & mighty, and just plain mean. I didn't mean that you fit into this category, just that it was a problem arising from similar actions. I hope you'll understand that I only wanted to point out that when vouching for someone it holds more validity if everyone knows whos doing the vouching. In your case, nothing more! Good luck, I hope you get the gig!
OK Michell, I apologize! Obviously my post didn't come off as I intended it to. I really did mean it when I started out "No offence intended". What I was trying to point out is that a lot of people post with aliases. I understand why some people use this method. I use "cuesmith" as my handle because I've been working on cues so long I used "cuesmith" as a CB handle, back when CB radios were cool (yeah, if you go back far enough they were. lol) I also sign my posts with my first name (Sherm) only because I make custom cues and my last name is Adamson. I don't want to be confused with Adam cues, a cue manufacturer. I also list my web address and a heck of a lot more than most people do in their profiles. I do so because I try to think before I start punching keys on my keyboard saying whatever pops into my head. I try to make posts that are designed to help people and not just express my ideas. In all sincerity, this is all I was trying to do here. I certainly didn't mean to imply that you were not credible! I just meant to point out that if someone knows _who's_ vouching for someone, it gives more credibility to the "vouch". I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with you as "dragon81" though I do remember the name Michell Monk.
I suppose the last part of my statement is what pushed your buttons, and those of a couple of others (obviously, you have friends here

Singles starts on the 15th although you offered the 16-18 in a post separate from the one above. I would like to play on the 15th since that is the first day of singles for both of us and I'd like to have the off-chance, however miniscule, that I can still make it to a match after we play and being this early in the tournament I think we would have a better chance of being able to play both our match and tournament matches.
Alternatively, if you would like to play barbox 8-ball instead to stay in stroke for your three events, I'm down for that. We would have no problems locating an open table for our match or finding an agreeable time since we would be able to see each others' schedules.
There's a wise observation by some ancient long-forgotten nameless philosopher that goes: "He who smelt it, dealt it."
Since the first thing that occurs to you is that we are going to dump and chop up the rail, I am going to surmise that you, personally, have a lot of experience in that exact scenario.
Try not to project your accomplishments, however noble they may be, upon others.
Mr. Macias -- you still doing the carwash thing?
OMG "Happy Camper" WTF
