This thread is as good a time as any for me to say this: First, Fabmaster sounds like a pretty decent guy to me and there were obviously some misplaced assumptions about his part in this.

A couple years ago, Ralph and I had a little tiff on this forum and bad things were said. Our disagreement was primarily the result of my impatience with Ralph not returning calls and slow response in general. I am by nature a very impatient person and I take full responsibility for our disagreement. I will add, however, that Ralph and I are the same age and it might be an old man thing, but Ralph is no diplomat himself. At our age, we tend to be more direct (blunt) in our dealings with others.

My sole purpose in posting this is to publicly express my regrets for what went on between Ralph and me as I've always felt bad about it and to publicly apologize to him and/or anyone else I offended. I have never doubted that Ralph is a decent man and I have never said otherwise.

The nature of this thread seemed a good time for me to clear the air regarding Ralph and Larry.
