Apology
I started a thread yesterday, and posted some pictures of some young college students who were pledging their sorority.
The pictures were from a local newspapers website. Of course there was nothing indecent, or degrading about the thread from what I saw. It's just a large event held in my home town, and we all support our students. Of course I'm a younger guy, and enjoyed this event. 2 fellow members addressed their distaste for the thread, and felt that the college girls were young, and shouldn't be placed into a thread on a Rolex forum. After looking back, I agree. I'm not here to offend my friends here, nor take advantage of the owners wishes on the website. Once I realized two members were no happy with the thread, a MOD explained very nicely that it wasn't the correct place to post pictures of the young ladies. I agree, and would like to let my fellow members know that I'm sorry if I offended anyone. With that said, I enjoy this website, and spend many hours a day with everyone. I stepped outside the lines of good taste on that thread. I think everyone is fine, but I wanted the people who were upset know that I won't do that again. I know when I'm wrong, and take full responsability for it. Thanks Steve for explaining where I stepped out of bounds. I will keep myself in check from now on.

Problem [minor] identified, problem [tactfully] intercepted by MOD, and problem addressed [w/ class, I might add] by OP. Well done.
 If all issues worked out this way, well, there would be no issues. dP

 Buddy Paul's thread was very, very tame - I didn't see the comments that followed, but the OP has no reason to apologize, IMO.

I never saw the thread. I think that Paul is a great guy and I doubt that it was done with a double entendre. Nevertheless, he is showing that he is a gentleman by apologizing.
You're golden in my book Paul.

 I didn't see the thread so I can't tell you if a apology is necessary.
