>I learned about 10 years ago that if you don't hear both sides, people shouldn't jump to conclusions. With all due respect to Rod, I refuse to jump to any conclusion based on only one side. Further, if the other side isn't forth coming, then I can only assume that Michel did what he felt he needed to do at the time. I can't fault anyone for that.

That's basically what I've been saying...maybe I didn't do a good job of it.

>As for SB and JVP, I wouldn't walk across the street to meeting either one personally. I do respect, however, their opinions and expertise. Personally, I think their recent "p*ssing contest" was beneath the dignity of both of them. The only thing that I think that occurs from such is the diminishing of both of them within the community.

I agree that their exchanges were not professional and lacked any professional courtesy.
