================================================ Subject: Re: Jim's behavior.. By Jim From: "Keith P. Mears" To: Date: Wed 29 Aug 2001 21:39:41 -0500 ================================================ As Jim has reasonably stated his own position, I will also attempt to clear the air a bit. I too regret the level to which I sank with some of my posts in response to Jim (in the thread which has recently caused so much strife). Jim and I have spoken privately and smoothed over the roughest spots. So for what it's worth coming from me, welcome back Jim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "creed -7m3 - live" To: Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 8:22 PM Subject: Jim's behavior..
