>LOL!!!! Ha, Erin - I had to laugh when I read your e-mail apology.
>I guess something must have been said that I missed - some post or
>something. Anyway, the reason I laughed was because I made a
>comment to a friend of mine today and I said: "There is this junior
>on ridecamp - it's so great to read her opinions, how deeply she
>gets involved and how passionate she is about this sport and how
>well she interacts with the adults. Gosh, I wish we'd have many
>more like her." So, for whatever it's worth, I don't think you've
>been rude at all. I admire your passion for the sport, your courage
>as a young rider to step up to the plate and in good spirit
>participate in debates - and I hope you'll stay in this sport for a
>very long time. And when you get out of college as a VETERINARIAN
>(not lawyer), I will beg you to vet my ride. Most people on
>ridecamp - or the ones that actually actively post, are indeed your
>elders, but remember that you are the future of our sport and
>therefore count just as much.

>OK, I'm going to bed - or catch a last glimpse at what happened at

I am apologizing for I am quite opinionated for a 15 year old...yes I know, my parents say the only way I should go is be a lawyer(but im shooting for a vet). I am sorry if i have come across very rude, and I truly don't mean to. I need to respect you all, you are all my elders! I don't want anyone to go to a race and say "OO...that Erin, she is a junior, that snotty junior from ridecamp." I don't want to give anyone a bad impression, which I think I have already done. On the internet, I speak a more harsher way than I would ever in real life, and also e-mail doesn't show emotion, so if I say something, and something comes across mean to someone, I might have meant it a different way. So I am giving out my deepest apology to any elder of mine who I have been rude towards. I am truly sorry. I am just very opinionated, and I say thing a lot of times with out thinking through e-mail, because I think to myself that I will never
meet any of you in real life...which is now probably very false! On e-mail I can seem to be a different person than I am in real life, so I am sorry:(
