â?â?¦listening to Van Halenâ?. I listen to Van Halen frequently. I havenâ??t posted a thread such as yours â?? or a reply such as the one found above. Please, donâ??t blame Van Halen for your post(s)(either posts, twice â??on two different Forums).

â??Clever humorâ? . Where? I missed that as well. So, apparently, did other folks.

â??This sucksâ? . Really? So you wrote a book, and had someone listening to Van Halen casting disparaging remarks on you? Tell me the title of your book.

â??The positive things I wroteâ? . When? In the initial post â?? or the post above? I have failed to see what is â??positiveâ? â?? anywhere â?? in any of your original posts on this subject. But â?? Iâ??m old, perhaps I missed them, but I doubt it.

â??Curse the smart-ass quips. Why? Those are what you wrote. Not me. I presume â??Van Halenâ? wasnâ??t impersonating you, typing at your keyboard â?? or whispering in your ear? If not â?? then â??youâ? wrote them. And seeking some tacit endorsement from this community when they werenâ??t endorsed from Janâ??s community â?? you reposted your note here, several days later. If you seek endorsement for your views â?? you failed on this Forum as well.

â??I canâ??t help itâ?. Huh? Then I would suggest you get some help â?? or not post. Either is fine. If you feel that you canâ??t help but to post â?? I can also fix that for you. That would be your choice as well.

Why it that all your â??quipsâ? above are â??excusesâ? for your actions?

Iâ??d be riveted by an unfettered â??apologyâ? â?? but perhaps that isnâ??t forthcoming. That is your decision and your action (or inaction, as the case may be).

Further â?? while you stood on stage in front of nearly 2,000 people here and posted your note with the conditional â??I canâ??t help itâ? reply â?? you only slightly offended me and those 2000 in this audience on this Forum. Not to mention another 800+ on Janâ??s Forums.

How, when, where and to whom â?? do you actually plan to make an apology? You know â?? the words â?? which have yet to appear in any of your comments that simply include â??I am sorryâ?. I believe that has been absent? But again â?? perhaps Iâ??m old and missed it â?? but, I donâ??t think so.

You see - I respect "humility, honor and dignity", not always in that order â?? so Iâ??m pretty convinced you have never posted three little words: â??I am sorryâ?.

For that, I would suggest that the recipient of a private or public apology should be Mr. Still â?? not me. You might want to try those same 3 words (â??I am sorryâ?). Should you deign an â??excuse freeâ? reply â?? please feel free to copy me in at admin@rennlist.com â?? until such time, I stand only cautiously optimistic that a genuine â??apologyâ? might ever be forthcoming. But, that would be â??yourâ? choice.

And moreâ?? I wouldnâ??t expect a reply from either Mr. Still or myself on this matter. That would be â??myâ? choice.

Good luck to you.
