"I was talking to Gene not you & have no interest in talking to you Bob. You have never had one nice thing to say but to irritate me. You can mind your own business too!"

Chipping IS my hobby James, and the paths that it takes IS my business!!!

I don't know how other people might react to some of the stuff that you've publicly posted regarding my feelings about the hobby and your tactics, but I'd suspect that a threat to have your father pay me a visit, asking me if I knew what he did for a living, wouldn't sit well with most people. This was during that time that your girlfriend dujour chose to come on this BB and send a volley of of tasteless jokes about my dead mother. I don't forget what people say, and I don't take threats lightly. I've obviously done more than just irritate you in the past. I've also sat in the wings since then waiting for some redeeming quality to emanate from you. The inability to answer a simple question is not only cause for alarm, but an indication that you haven't learned very much. People want to deal with other people who not only respect the truth, but conduct themselves in their daily lives based on that belief.

For what its worth, I hate writing this note. I hope you read it very carefully. I hate not getting along with people. I usually don't have any problem in that department.

....send Ernie my way if you still feel the need.
