>I realized what message Tracy meant after posting. I didn't find it in my Sent folder search because your name was the first in the To list. She should be ashamed of herself for leaving the UT with the impression there was anything inappropriate about it.

>Mike, I was asked not to interject between you and Tracy. But now that you've tossed this "she should be ashamed" garbage to me, I can reply.

>You have got some nerve talking about being "ashamed"...clearly you have no shame. Take a look at everything you've done. You are the last person on here to claim that someone should be ashamed.

>I'm only half as torqued about you sneering at some of my accomplishments/efforts (speaking at the first NYC BI User Group, possibly helping someone to become an MVP), as I am you going out of your way to piss off people like Tracy and Mike Cole...who are basically clean people and don't deserve your B.S.

>You send an email to Tracy and myself and apologized, and then you turn around and say that we manufacture things. Priceless.

I do not apologize for what I said about Tracy. It was accurate. She did leave the impression that I said something inappropriate to her recently, and I didn't.

Yes, I did piss off Mike Cole. I'm still not sure why and AFAIK it is in the past. I have liked, admired, and encouraged him since we was a pup. That's not taking any credit for his accomplishments, I don't mean that at all, I just think you're barking up the wrong tree.

Which brings us to you. I don't know why but we have always managed to rub each other the wrong way. You like one band? I'm going to like a different one. I like one team? You're going to hate them. We're like rams butting heads. Let's just be clear, though, that I respect your knowledge and professionalism. I don't even remember what I said about the NYC BI group and have no doubt it was unfortunate. If I didn't already apologize, I do now. When you post about SQL Server or C#, I read it and often learn from it. The only times I ever disrespect you is your occasional malice.

I have enough issues in my life without getting in personality conflicts. I will try to be more amiable.
