An apology is certainly a start in this matter. None of this should have
been brought on to the net to begin with. Of course, I'm doing it now,
but because this is something that is starting to get out of hand.

I certainly did not interpret your post as trying to promote a better
understanding of net experience. I viewed it as a thinnly vieled shot at
Jim. If you are going to post stuff like this,
you..are..going..to..get...flamed. Of course we are going to draw up
pre-concieved notionsabout you. the only way we can know what yu re like
is from your posts. The posts that you have so far have calledJim down
to dirt in colorful ways, and questioned his honesty. In the post
above you claim to rip people off. Not get good deals, but rip them off.
that's prime flame bait. After that ost, I certainly wouldn't have
dealings with you. That's not creating preconeived notions about you,
that's common sense.

You are right Morgan, I don't know youI have no idea about yu at all.
But because yu like Valiant (like I do) I have been following your
posts. The posts that I have seen and the comments you have made just
don't impress me. I'm sure that worries you, but it's trueAnyway, that's
my two cents worth. Flame away.
