<DIV>Wayne,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have disagreed on a number of issues since I logged on 4 months
ago. You and I have something in common in that we get our hackles up in a
hurry and speak our minds forcefully. Sometimes without benefit of
deliberation. I wish to take this opportunity to tell you, in all
sincerity, that I'm proud of how you stood up to the plate and apologized
unreservedly for your comments regarding "Deacon" James. When you found
out you'd muffed it you chose to own up to your mistake like a man. I have
found myself in that position at least once these past months, and am glad that
I was able to muster the manhood to apologize as you have. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyhow Wayne, keep it up. As far as I am concerned, there is no
requirement that we agree on anything as long as we argue with honor.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best, --Tony</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
