Jim's email was rather courteous and to the point. While he certainly accepts differences of opinion and ensuing discussions on TheChipBoard (and in public for that matter) he expressed his belief that such discussions should not resort to name calling. While I was rather angry and looking to vent, when I made my reply post, I must admit (and agree) that Jim's point is well taken.

With that said, I apologized to Jim for the name calling. That was my bad and I do not want others to think of me that way. Therefore, I also apologize to others for getting so angry that I vented so publicly.

Respectfully, Jim
