It was a response to a post you made to Rene regarding some comments you made about him in July. I said:

>> This is a stand up message ...

>> ... Chuck. I hope it gets an appropriate response and that
>> you and Rene can finally resolve this. ----- jim o\-S

Please notice, I even used virtually the same language: "STAND UP MESSAGE". So, you have no reason to feel "hurt". I have tried very hard to treat you the same as anyone else -- when you deserve a compliment, you get it.

As for your snide comment, "trying to get votes?", see this post by Pete:

in which he said:

>> Jim Reilly and I have had little disagreements in the past -
>> but we are in agreement with the bigger issues that really matter.
>> He will do a GREAT job as president. I am behind him and his great
>> team of Ralph, Neal, & Marty. I think this group of fine gentlemen
>> will be a refreshing change that is LONG overdue.
>> Jim Reilly has my total support as President.
>> Keep on holding your ground Jim and standing up for what you truly
>> believe! You know that this is still a hobby and not just about the
>> allmighty dollar!
>> Good Luck,
>> Pete Rizzo

It would appear that I don't have to butter him up to secure his support.
