Hi Ed,
I am not sure what issues you feel anyone has been
pushing...
All I see are the expression of opinions... and replies directed to comments based on other and opposite opinions... I have reread the entire thread and although the thread is Off-Topic, it doesn't seem to fit the category of a violation of the rules in the forum decorum...
I thought I had been pretty clear in stating that... I support Ron's original premise wholeheartedly...
As Pipeman45 said, I may be in disagreement with some of the sentiments in this thread, but will defend their right to express them here as long as they do it in a civilized manner.
I do see now that my original invitation for discussion may have been misinterpreted because of my choice of words and opened the door for public discussion, and that was not my intent... I have modified my last post to clarify that I was talking about private communications of those concerned...with me personally and I have already started receiving inquiries...
As far as continued discussion here, while not prohibited, I suggest we take Ron Wood's initial advice about letting sleeping dogs lie...
If you and I need to talk off line, please let me know.
Best to all of you, especially Ed.
