I've never been involved in cruises, but it's something I can certainly
find out about. Swell. Just what we needed, a TA in rec.travel.cruises never been involved in cruises. snip The only flies buzzing around her ointment (other than your sig greater than the customarily allowable 4 lines) may be something like: Who in the right mind would want cruising advice from an African agent, who has never cruised or been involved with cruising, by calling from the USA (or Canada, or Brit, or ...) an African phone number for this TA? I am sure you'll be receiving many phone calls from LOL O'Boyle! LOL! (a different one). In reality, I think your post self-destructs, in 5 minutes. :-) Dear Bob, I'm sorry I couldn't satisfy you. When I hit respond I didn't think to remove the one that said 'travel cruises'. And just because I haven't dealt with them doesn't mean I won't. And just because my phone number is there doesn't mean anyone needs to phone it. My sig is my usual sig, and so far you are the only one who has ever complained that it's too long, or that it contains my phone number. When people spend money they like to know who they're spending it with, and a phone number allows a certain amount of security. I think you are nit-picking, in order to get yourself heard. For those on the scuba group, I have been asked to set up a scuba tour of South Africa, including Sodwana Bay, so if you're interested, you may want to contact me. :-) Catherine Milton ==Not nuts, just a little eccentric== www.africanbush.co.za African Bush Tours and Safaris P O Box 232, Rouxville, 9958, South Africa Tel (+27) 051 663-0170 or Mobile (+27) 082 490-5485 |

And just because my phone number is there doesn't mean anyone needs to phone it. I understood all of that, which was why I thought your post was self-destruct, which appeared in rec.travel.cruises (of 99% non-Africans, and that's not counting Da Parrot Chick (aka Skip) as an "African", as the famous MARTA in Atlanta is often said to be the acronym for "Moving Africans Right Through Atlanta). :-/ My sig is my usual sig, and so far you are the only one who has ever complained that it's too long, or that it contains my phone number. When people spend money they like to know who they're spending it with, and a phone number allows a certain amount of security. I don't complain about sigs, even some that are 12 lines long, I merely made the observation of what Ms O'Boyle suggested to you on how you can beat the "spam loophole", with reference to hh's post which stated 4-lines as one of the usually admissible limit for real discussants. That was what MY "four line" reference was about. I think you are nit-picking, in order to get yourself heard. In your case, it was a humongous nit. I don't care whether I am heard or not. That's why I couldn't less who puts my in their killfiles. I write what I feel like writing, for the groups in which I participate. For those on the scuba group, I have been asked to set up a scuba tour of South Africa, including Sodwana Bay, so if you're interested, you may want to contact me. :-) I'll be taking only 7 cruises this year (because my wife was sick and we had to stay home for her chomo treatment, for six months). But we've had our 5th cruise of this year last week, and our next 2 in Nov will have diving ports of call in them. I may even take a cruise which stops in African ports enroute to more interesting locations. :-) Thanks for your offer. But no thanks.
