3. I hope you don't mind, but if Jim and I continue to discuss the
post, we will do just that. If you do mind, then you are free to not
participate. If you want to participate, then please do.

I certainly don't mind at all, Mike - thanks for asking. By all
means, if you feel that you have a continuing need for the deep
technical insight and engineering assistance that Jim has been
providing to you so far, then do indeed proceed with my best wishes.

However, if you would like to have some control over whether others
participate, not participate, or object to things said in this public
forum, I'd respectfully suggest that you move the discussion off line.
If it's just going to be the two of you, the telephone might be the
best tool for the job....

Otherwise, correspondum emptor.....let the poster beware!


I certainly don't prefer arguing - civil discourse would be nice
indeed - but....you may well note that your always-supportive pal Jim
has been using the last few rounds of these exchanges to promote his
own agenda (ie demonstrate how incorrect his nemesis Len is) - your
project, or most any topic on this group, always takes a back seat to
this goal.

Len is a big boy, and seems to return the favors.

Which has nothing at all to do with my statement above.

Your statement does seem to condone the behaviour. Interesting. As
they say, if you ain't part of the solution....



Perhaps you're thread is being hijacked......?


All threads here eventually become Steve versus Brian! 8^)

Not all threads, Mike....quite a few become Jim versus Len. Or Jim
versus whomever he believes might be Len, a pseudo-Len, or Len-like in
some way that he doesn't like!

Then again, Jim may be in a position to make one valuable contribution
to the project - you might be able to talk him out of the leftover
cabinet from his gutted BC-221, and use it as a field box to carry the
balloon and payload to site! 8*p
