Capn | 354 comments Thanks very much! What a terrible pic the old one is!

I took this photo (for Martin's sake: I am the owner of this digital photograph. I created it, cropped it, and uploaded it for the greater benefit of humankind from a book I own with my own camera, using software legally registered to me. Image credit: me. It's mine. It is in accordance with the Goodreads Librarian Manual's policies).

Here's the link to the image (currently stored in my Goodreads profile pics): https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...


Cover illustration is by Lydia Rosier

Martin | 35498 comments I was about to add this cover but then I saw that you are mocking me and my past requests for source information.
I give my time to help site users, I don't need to be mocked for following site rules regarding sourcing.

Somebody else can deal with your requests from now on.

Capn | 354 comments I'm not mocking you!!! Good grief!!!


message 4: by Capn (new) - added it

Capn | 354 comments I legitimately thought you'd appreciate it, because you seemed frustrated with me last time - hence why I was trying to offer this by way of a wink-wink, nudge-nudge, I did it right, right?!

Really, truly - I'm not mocking you. I'm sorry if you have read it that way. It wasn't intended as mocking, fwiw.

(Are people rude to you here normally or something?! Because no, that really wasn't at all the intention - you don't have to feel that way, and I'm sorry from my end that you did!)

Capn | 354 comments Don't forget - there are cultural nuances at play, probably, even if we both speak English... that wasn't intended as mocking. You don't have to perceive it as such, truly.

Capn | 354 comments I really wasn't poking fun at you, Martin. I put your name there in a friendly way.

Regardless of whether or not you ever want to assist me again, I sincerely hope you read these responses and try to reassess your take on them. I sure didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I am honestly surprised that you would take it this way.

Done. Sorry I didn't get to it yesterday. It would have saved you the bother.
