RE: Anything Acres - Guest - 07-04-2014
dear rob , im assuming the best and asking a question ,, this is your responses to my inquires , correct ?
In over ten years I have never had complaints about anyone's user name but with you I do. It indicates to me that your general attitude
is that you wish to offend people or enjoy it.I will reinstate you immediately if you come up with a new user name of your choice that is not likely to offend. But if being offensive
is your goal you won't stay long. Rob
dear rob ,, thank you for your attention to this matter and doing the right thing ,, as I said before it was never my desire to offend or traumatize anyone with my last name ,,, you wouldn't believe the trash iv heard about it in the past 50 years,,,, id be happy to have an abbreviated version ,,,, moose2.0 would be fine ,,, if that is ok with you . once again thank you for your time.
just for future reference ,,, courtesy of genealogy .com
(The cock family name has both Dutch as well as an English origin. In Holland, the family had a high status and influence that was envied by many. From there the cock family moved to the U.S.A of the member of this family in the US was Gabriel cock who came to Delaware in 1693. The English origin of the name says that this name was given to a person with rosy complexion and red hair and the word originated from the welsh ‘coch’ which means red. The cocks are said to be first found living in Cornwall. )
It's fairly certain that in most cases it's the same word as it is in modern English, with the difference that it had some subsidiary meaning in middle English that's been lost in modern English. There many ideas about what that meaning was, but I'm inclined to go with the idea that it signified a boy or young man and that it developed into something like an epithet, so Adcock was "Ad[am]-¢ock" (compare Adkins) and Hancock was "Han-¢ock" or maybe "Hank-¢ock". Essentially, it became a diminuitive, parallel to "-kin." You see a lot of the same root names with both these suffixes, Adcock, Adkin; Willcock, Willkin; Simcock, Simpkin, and so on. Depending on what part of England the name arose, it could also have an -s or -son so you get this whole series of derivatives like Willcock, Willcox, Willcoxson ) my family has called me moose all my life ,, so once again im sorry if I rubbed anyone the wrong way .

Holly cow Moose, thats really your name. Sorry for my off color statement in an earlier post regarding your name. I had no idea it was more or less your given name. In light of the facts I gotta say what I found slightly offesive I now find slightly funny
whatever the handle, I find you to be an entertaining fellow.

moose2.0,
You're starting to take up a lot of my time again.
I have no idea what your real name is. The surname Cock is not the name used on the emails you sent me. Furthermore I am not too interested in having contents of emails I sent published in a post.
So if you want to stay around here, and I am beginning to doubt you do, I suggest you 1) quit bringing undue attention to yourself and 2) stop wasting my time.
Assume the best and ask questions.

By a similar route everyone calls me Shorty.

I understand your explanation about family names, their derivation, and origination. Here's another aspect you might wish to consider.
There are businesses that specialize in working with foreign companies when they wish to introduce a new product outside of their borders. Sometimes an inoffensive name in one language can be insulting or offensive in another language. These companies understand that if they want to succeed in their new market, it benefits them to make necessary adjustments, including name changes for their new customer base. Even if their name was successful or noble in their native tongue, they realize that it's easier to change that name rather than create an obstacle for themselves.
Here are a few examples of real products with failed names. They are not Photoshopped labels, these packaged food items actually exist.

Justthefacts is that the Rock sign was surveyed and not on the volcano trail and is correctly in the correct easement with permission . The fact is the board said too liable and expensive to fix while spending another $5000.00 on private insurance for some violators . But the Rock was originally hand mixed cement so failed it's own code and fell over . Any correctly mixed concrete should work with new Rock base . No board permission required . Just one front loader or backhoe would work . And some volunteers

Thats not quite how that went down. Although I am as angry as someone could be about the misused funds, it doesn't help to make wildly inaccurate statements. The 5000 was to pay yet another layer to defend HARC against the macdonalds. There are insurence policies that are in question, but they cover personal liabilities. The boards are meeting on the 14th. Please come.

You are not correct . It's not the road people but the HA BOARD or (some )that took the $5000,00 for an attorney for being told they were non compliant . Always check your facts . No road fees used toward BIGNATS lawsuit by road folks . Carry on.....
No offense Intended rob . I doubt few ever been to HA here . The threads are quite diverging and converging but several monikers stand out .

no problem jim,,, life is to short to worry to much over a name ,, glad to be back and looking forward to spending time with you guys ,,, aloha
RE: Anything Acres - birchl - 07-07-2014
There are three attorneys being employed by the two boards. Two for HACA and one for HARC. As I am getting increasingly involved in the convoluted affairs of the acres, it would be exteremly helpful if you could email me the details you refer to. What non-compliance? My aloha
