I should also ask that you post to me directly with your anger so as not to take up the public bandwidth. But if you do please don't hold back as you seem to have some problem expressing how you really feel. My email is hhalem(at)glassnotes.com

Its Dave Williams, Henry. I'm not remaining anonymous, this has been my handle on Usenet forever. And I'm not angry at you. That's kind of an easy way to ignore my point. What I don't like is your view of glass boards as capitalist free-fire zones where ethics and decency take a backseat to shilling shlepping and screwing the competition. Just because information boards are "owned" doesn't exempt their owners from an obligation to act ethically in their business.

At least he signs his name to his posts.

Who? Moonraker or Henry? I don't have any problem signing my name to my posts, it was just an oversight. I'm not really up on the netiquette here. Anyway you know who I am which is more than I know about you. If you don't tell someone your last name, you might as well not sign your posts IMO. And you'd certainly be on shaky ground criticizing anyone else for not signing theirs...
In reading back over my original response to Henry I feel bad at the anger in it. I guess I am angry at Henry. Or more acurately profoundly disgusted. Anyway, I apologize to Henry and everyone else for that. Its not an unqualified apology obviuosly, because I feel I have good reasons for my strong feelings. But I went over the top and let my emotions get the best of me and I apologize. I'll say no more.

Jack Bowman. Small world, eh?

I guess. But I think we're all swimming in the same pond pretty much. If I saw you over on the Alt.homepower group then I'd be really surprised.
