I have no idea why he has attacked me on several occasions later, I don't remember ever having said or written a bad word to him or about him. But that's history, and mostly forgotten. I may have disagreed with him, and we may have had some technical arguments, but that's no reason to lose a friendship. I consider Mike as a friend, and it makes me sad to understand that he doesn't feel the same way.

You're too kind Tore,

There is a saying that goes like this "WIth friends like that who needs enemies". I know that the bully (Mike) won't see my post because he put me on his black list many moons ago ;-)

I undestand that it's sad to lose a friend and it's worth it to try to clarify things but at one point one has to say "Life is too short". So what, one lost friend... it'll give you more occasions to have longer quality contacts with your other friends.

Life goes on,
Regards
