Possible haquebut ball

[Matchlock]

Hi, my dear friend Nando,


I write most of my posts using WORD, and then copy them here.
It's much easier that way editing and saving them.

So that's why.

Apart from that, I definitely need my Outlook email program to work correctly - more than three months after it was installed, it's still driving me crazy ...
After all, emailing has become my gate to the outside world, to my friends out there; to you ...


Best,
Michl

So sorry to insist but ...
Even knowing that your applications are out of order you don't temporarily post directly in here ?
... Risking frequent results as in post #12 ?
Is it all those recent texts, with large size fonts and alternate multicolor lettering, caused by your WORD malfunction ?
I envy your perseverance .

I understand Michl's position, seeing as he is contributing with more text and pictures than any of us. Typing within this forum is not very accurate when you typ something of over 2000 words Also the layout changes because the screen in which you typ is only half the width of the layout of the forum

Hopefully the problem can be fixed without having to buy a new PC or laptop.

I got even more pictures of the same person, sadly he is not willing to sell them at the moment. It is kind of a special thing among metal detector enthausiast to find a haquebut bullet. And this particular person has found quite a few in his "career" making him some sort of a king. Some of them even compose a collectors list of items still to be found


the measurments are written on the paper. "taps" means askew/tilted.

C'mon Marcus, we are all persons of common sense. This has nothing to do with Michl's contribution intensity. If we know that our posts come out so awkward with the the exterior alternative resources we use, surely the wise idea is to apply the forum features. And the more 'peaceful' those are ... contents, fonts, colors and the like, the better they appear. The more importante we are, the more humble we may be; no need to call for attention when we are what we are, right ?
I for one, would hate to see my posts being nominated for the Guiness book of records.
Time we bring back some serenity to this whole issue, if i may

Hi, my dear friends Marcus and Nando,


First of all: THANKS for caring!

I feel like Marcus has got the better understanding of what situation I am in;

Secondly:

As Marcus correctly noticed, my output here seems to be unparalleled.
So please leave the way of posting up to me, 'cause I just gotta do it my way - and my way is the only way of doin' it.
Alright?
OK?


At 61, I've grown way too old for breakin' but I still feel way too young to be tamed!


Best,
Michl

Dear friends,

You both make a valid point. Nando, you are right about the possibility of just posting within the forum threads and Michl's is right about it beeing the way you prefer (are used to) will work best for that person.

I have noticed a continuing tenseness between the both of you and whatever it might have caused it i am possitively sure you don't want to further this crack between your friendship. It is not worth it so let's make amends please, because this thread which i started about a haquebut ball has turned into a whole ball of **** right now!!!

rather comment on the pictures in post 18
These are also from my friend who dug all his items up in the Dutch city of Gorichem. When the city had some mayor construction going on at the ramparts/modern day dike my friend had a great time finding these items.

The city of Gorichem build these ramparts in the late 13e century to protect themself from the neighbouring city's/states of Holland and Gelre. In the mid 14th century they reinforced these walls and build gates and towers. In 1382 they got the right of naming themselfs a independent city (with tax laws etc)(http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorinchem)

No tenseness intended, Marcus; just some points of view.
...Which occured in this thread by mere accident.
Sorry for that.
