Just spent 45 minutes on the phone with Steve Lare. It's amazing how actual
human contact is so different from computer-mediated communication. I really
believe that if Steve and I were living on the same street, we'd be pretty good
friends. I enjoy Steve's knowledge of radios. I wish there was someone, here,
that I could hang out with that shared my love of radios the way Steve seems
to.

Look, Steve, I'm sorry about the long chain of events that led to us being so
diametrically opposed in this NG. I'm taking you out of my killfile. I want
access to your SW knowledge. I promise not to ridicule your political posts.
Feel free to drop me an email if you think I'm going over the top on anything
else.

Hope we get a chance to talk again.

Michael, there is a lot of virtual butt kicking here on the Internet,
like you say, if most of the folks here met person to person, they
wouldn't think of saying some of the things they do virtually, and would
find they have a lot in common.

Glad you and Steve had a nice chat.
