How long are you going to continue? Yes I publicly called out Robert on September 18, 2012 for his remark that was was going to scrap (sell for scrap metal) a perfectly good Sequent SE20 ["Sequent SE20 any interest?"] if someone didn't buy it from him. No, I wasn't aware at the time that Robert was a good friend of yours. Further, at the time I replied, I saw very very few emails from Robert in the recent list archives, and I mistakenly thought he was just out to troll the list (as a lot of others had done and continue to do). Had I seen Robert's earlier posts from years ago, I would have probably toned down what I wrote a little more (yes, more...I discarded the first couple of drafts). While I've personally long since moved on with things, I still do not understand why you took it so personally and still seem to harbor resentment at me for airing my own thoughts regarding Robert's comments. In fact, despite me asking you directly, you still won't tell me why you took my comments so personally. What seems even more odd (to me at least) is that you and I had been on very good terms for better than what, ~10 years? prior, and considering our past interactions I was shocked at your response. Maybe you are right, maybe I don't know you as well as I thought I did, but how is sniping at me whenever you get a chance doing anything good for anyone (or the list)? If it will finally put a stop to this, then I'll post this here too. Robert, I'm sorry I was so harsh in my replies regarding the SE20. Had I realized at the time that you had been more active on classiccmp in the past and were not just here trolling I'd have responded very differently. already moved on after our rather "lively" discussion, but if it is still bothering you, I apologize for being so harsh.
