Re[2]: [Am-info] Who is this fellow?

[Gene Gaines]

Simon and everyone on the list,

Please understand that my email to Simon was as
underhanded, misleading, and hand-tailored to appear
bad as I could make it.

I did this to make a point.

Almost everyone on this list has strong feelings, but they
state their thoughts in a straightforward and honest way.

Just a few people drop in from time to time, and in my
view are not very forthright in what they say here.

Simon, I say directly, in my opinion your remarks cross
the line.

Let's hope Simon and I both can stop.
