What can I say? Steve and I had a great, easy-going conversation. It
was fun, I was pleased and not really surprised to receive his apology,
(and frankly, for my role in being a pain-in-the butt here also, I
apologize too, not just to Steve but to all here) and I hope we can
talk again, here and maybe in person. I feel like I made a friend.
Thank you, Steve.
I think it really, truly helps to hear the voice on the other end. The
human factor so often is missing on this medium, and it can be the
difference between a warm exchange and verbal abuse. Having said that,
I promise to do my best, at every turn, to try to assume that each post
is made in the best of spirits and with a full heart.
If I should stray, remind me I said this!

DeJa Vu all over again. I sincerely hope he means it this time. It took only
a day or two for the 'ace' to attack the last person he made friends with
over the phone.
Note the similarities in what's just happened to this posting. I hope things
work out. Oh, yeah..Michael Bryant left the group after the school where he
teaches started getting phone calls from 'ace'. His LAST school got phone
calls from the 'ace' too. Sounded like stalking to most here.

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.
Thanks, it was nice to talk to you.
Steve
