My apologies to Bill Baumbeck!

[alamocdc]

I did a bad thing. Many of you have read the !st edition of TPS's newsletter. In the periodical is an article I wrote. It is a review of the Sierra. At the time of writing the article the Sierra Vista had just been released. Bill Baumbeck had a parts breakdown photo of the two kits side by side for size comparison. I borrowed that photo for the article without giving credit for the source, or obtaining permission from Bill. Was this oversight intentional? Absolutely not! I have nothing but respect and admiration for Bill and would never intentionally do anything to lose his trust.

Bill, I am truly sorry for this oversight and I assure you it will not happen again!

P.S. In all fairness to Bill, he neither asked for, nor demanded this apology. He merely asked me where I got the photo.

TPS?

I too believe this post should have just been posted at TPS.

Nothing against Billy or TPS...just my opinion.

It was.

Oops, I didn't read it correctly, Dario.

I posted it here and TPS because many of us frequent both sites and I wanted to make sure it was seen.

Jeff, feel free to delete this post if you feel it necessary.

A public apology to Bill on a forum that he does not frequent would not make much sense.

The correction should be noted in the next issue of that newsletter.

Hey guys...it's a non-issue. The photo in question was taken by me, and I'm not offended in the least. In fact, I'm always happy to see my stuff get posted elsewhere.

I've already requested that Johhny post my apology in the new letter, Jeff.

Thanks, Ed, but I should have made sure that I remembered to credit where I got the photo, at the very least. I intended to, but forgot about it when I proof read it. But I was in a hurry and forgot so the bad is on me and I take full responsibility. Very bad form on my part. What I should have done is ask his permission and subsequently yours. I was trying to create something educational and screwed up in the process. I am truly sorry to any I may have offended.

Billy,

Stuff happens.......no corpses, no problem (IMO).
