Esteemed members of the MPEG2/FTA discussion group.
I need to apologize for a few of the posts I have made in the last 72 hours or so. I let a few comments from someone get under my skin, and I should not have. So, I apologize.
I hope that you will look at the fact that I've been a member of this forum for quite a while, and have nearly 600 posts on this board. I've made every effort to help out those who ask questions, as well as post useful information as I have come across it, even posting a comprehensive how-to-guide just last week.
I hope that you will not judge me by a few clearly out-of-character posts from this week-end.
Those of you who have followed my posts on this board know that I am an avid runner. For me, it's even a bigger passion than FTA. I run the Dallas marathon every year. I ruptured my achilles tendon jetskiing last week and found out Friday that I have to have surgery to repair the tendon, and may never be able to do any serious competitive running again.
I know that this in no way excuses the smart-a** tone in the 2 or 3 posts that I made over the week-end. I'm not offering it as an excuse, but I hope it does offer some insite into why all the sudden my posts would take a more acidic tone. I'm in a lot of pain, taking a lot of drugs, and am crushed by the potential loss of my favorite pastime.
I plan on taking a short vacation from posting in the forum, to ensure that I don't offend anyone else. Quite honestly, when I made those posts, I really didn't realize how bad they were, clearly indicating a need to step back for a small time to gain some perspective, or at least until I'm not taking any medication.
Again, I wish to apologize, and ask to not be counted amoung those who do sit on the sidelines and attempt to antagonize at every turn.
Respectfully,
Nathan

Nathan, everybody has off days and there's no need to stop posting.
I'll close this to prevent any more posts similar to the one I just deleted below yours in this thread.
If the other mods want to comment they'll post after me.
Good luck with your tendon and watch those meds

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
