Weeks Success and Question
"TRDTRIX" wrote in message ... Weeks Success Eugene Fluckey 1016 Sandpiper Lane Annapolis, MD 21403-4633 SIC also a note from his wife requesting no more autograph requests for he has been diagnosed with Alzheimers Let me see.....his wife asks for no more requests, yet you include his address in your post. You know of course that there are those who will just see the address and write anyway, ignoring the "no more" request. Brian |

Agreed Brian and let me say in his defense that he didn't want to be
slammed probably by people who will say "you posted your success without an address?" they slam, get mad and nasty and are rude and crude. However.... I for one would rather they call me names and get p/o'd than print that to disturb a family who has enough to deal with As with the posts about who gives addresses/who doesn't and who posts public events and who doesn't like it. What is called for in these groups is a code of ethics. I have mentioned this in the past and it's been ignored. My code of ethics would be in the past to post the successes without the address but that upset people and seemed like "flaunting it" so these days I will not even mention it. But I would never post addresses of people of those really sick or recovering or if asked not to. Even if NOT asked not too, some common sense should apply. I call it a decent human thing to do.

In my defense Brian I assume you have access to The Star Archive which the addy is from you will note there is NO Mention of any Health problems with Mr Fluckey I chose to include this for the majority of those who read these posts Access the Star Archive If I didn't post the Addy then all it would take is a simple trip to the Star Archive to find the Addy I included the note out of respect to Mrs Fluckey and to save some postage on fellow collectors for it seems to be very soon that Ms Fluckey will just refuse any requests for her Husbands Autograph The only reason I am responding to your post is the Cynical manner in which you presented it where these types of posts ( Not just yours) have done a great job in driving away many who take the time to post successes in this group Which I have been doing for the past few years and it seems to be getting smaller and smaller You may want to alter the manner in which you post Think About it TRD |

Mr Fluckey would continue to be sent autograph requests if no mention was made
of his affliction By posting the note hoepfully it would cut down on those requests That was my purpose in posting the note TRD |

I have no problem with people reporting successes. However, when someone asks for no more requests due to failing health and then you post their address, it raised a "Why did he do that?" flag in my mind immediately. Mentioning the success...fine. Taking the time to let people know of the health problems and request for no more mail, bravo. But your posting of the address....well, I just didn't see that as serving any purpose. My comment was directed more towards the louts who will see a success and an address, and completely blank on the health concerns of the subject and send a request anyway, quite possibly not even knowing who he is. They will just see the chance for an easy success. They may be immediately drawn to the address and overlook all else. I just think that mentioning the success and the request of the family would have been sufficient. As far as the manner I post....methinks you are a bit too sensitive. If I wanted to be snotty, then I would have taken the time to comment on your obvious unfamiliarity with proper punctuation and capitalization, which you have once again chosen to demonstrate in your response to my initial post. But I won't do that. Regards...... Brian |
