The attacks by the self styled general and Rene are personal and unwanted. To me it is like having two close friends get divorced and because of the hateful things they now say about each other, I either have to listen or leave them both. I don't like the smears and the personal attacks. I consider myself a friend of Rene's and have nothing personal against The General but like you, Vicki, I wish they would not use the board to say spiteful things about and to each other. I also wish they would continue to be involved generally in the Club and the hobby. May they both rest in peace (figuretively speaking, of course) <g>.
