joshroot Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hi folks,<p>I am going to be "out of touch" for the next few days. My wife has gone intolabor with our first child. And as much as I love photo.net and all of thewonderful "Why isn't my photo in the TRP?" complaints, I love my wife andsoon-to-be child much MUCH more.<p>And so, I won't be around for the next few days (at least). Emails sent throughthe "contact photo.net" form will probably not be answered until then and Iwon't be checking the Feedback or CC forums. I have asked Bob and theprogrammers to keep an eye out for any serious problems or site glitch reports.They know the site as well as anyone, so there should be no issues on that front.<p>But I am hoping that all of you will help spread the word to some of the userswho don't take the time to read posts like this before they make a "why won'tanyone help me" thread. Please help by letting other users know that I'motherwise occupied with more important matters. I'll take care of photo.netissues once things have settled down. But until then, everyone has to wait.<p><center><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/7298522-lg.jpg"><p><i>Our son will be here soon.</i></center> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve torelli Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Congrats to you and your family ! Will you trade sons with me ? I should tell you, mine is 19. I tried selling him on fleabay, no deal. I figure a trade plus cash is my only alternative. Good luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce_margolis Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Congrats, Josh. Does this mean we can expect a post from you soon asking which P&S is best for baby pix? Seriously, best to all of you. You will enjoy every moment of your child. Well, at least you will until he/she becomes a teenager. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjoseph7 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Congratulations Josh ! You must be on cloud-nine right now. Since you are going to be gone the next few days, now it's a good time to start some Nikon/Canon 'discussions'. Or even better, Canon Mk III 'discussions'.

jim_momary Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 What a fantastic reason to miss out on all the fun. Good luck - your lives will never be the same, nor more wonderful ... it's a wonderment how a football sized person can make the day full of smiles. Jim M.
