''The long personal message to Grayhairs was intended to be a private message and not for the entire board. I guess I forgot how to do this on SI.'' As one small voice on this board, I must say you have shown your ''true colors'' and it saddens me that you have resorted to concocting the flimsy excuse above. I find it hard to believe that a navy pilot (retired) can't figure out how to send a PM. Just ''doesn't fly''!! As for your apology to ''the board'', I'd suggest you owe none of us an apology. Your harsh post and unfair comments about the morals of a fellow threadster was greatly appreciated. Your lack of a proper reconsideration and apology, to Greyhairs, certainly allows ''the board'' to question much of what you've said. Is it a false sense of pride or are you just a stubborn old fart with an ax to grind against anyone who dares offer an opinion that proves to be inaccurate. I'm not sure, by Grayhairs response to my post, that he understood that I'm VERY AWARE that he lost a considerable amount of money on ELH, but I am! If you aren't interested in learning and listening then this may not be the right thread for you. When a man has wronged another, he can make one of two choices: 1. Admit his mistake and as for forgiveness. 2. Show a lack of moral character and stick to his guns. Time to show what you are made of. No more excuses. Just state where you are at and we can all move on, hopefully with you, but that decision rests in your hands. Greyhairs, the board has spoken and clearly your explanations and opinions are appreciated. U2bob got a little carried away, when he invited you to join us for wings and beer. There is barely enough to go around now!! Especially when Salty and Mike020 show up!! ggg I'm done posting anymore drivel. Since I lost my ''fishing license'' I've retreated to lurking and I think I'll return to that role. Ciao dad....jeez I wish I'd never used this STUPID ID!!
