Dear Michael, Steve and all,
I appreciate your words and support. I did get sucked in because of the recent "Hupe-Bashing" mission by a few. I just got plain tired of it.
In the future, I challenge anyone who wishes to bash us to do it in private and do not post to the list with 'private' email replies. There can be no mistake for this type of thing. We can take constructive criticism because in the proper form it is good and anyone can learn by it. Mud slinging, bickering or attempts at humor are not forms of this. Yes, I am guilty of this and have learned by it.
That said, if anyone wants to criticize us, do it in private emails and we will be more than happy to take care of whatever grievance you may have. If not a grievance, than we also will listen to suggestions and opinions
Best to all,
Greg

Dear Steve & all,
You are entirely right.
Nearly every single person - whether they have been "quacking"
lately or not, is a really, truly good guy. Greg just demonstrated
he is a shining example of this fact. His post was a real example
of courage and honor. Nearly all of us have gotten sucked in at
some time or other.
NONE of this should be seen as personal - not against the PERSON -
but against the behavior. When anyone begins to quack - and this certainly
includes me - I really do think we should send them 500 individual, off list
reminders. I am not suggesting it be done in an UGLY way - just strait
foreword - "Please deal with the person directly - NOT on the list."
It is not about the person and it is not about the topic - it is
about name calling, declaring the other person's motives, and just
plain rudeness - and/or, of course, the use of profanity.
It IS true - they are all friends and will share a drink in Tucson-
the rest of the year, let's all support our brothers by reminding them
OFF LIST when they are posting improperly.
As Tiny Tim said, "God bless us, everyone!"
Best wishes, Michael

Hello list.I am a big hupe' fan.I buy from both brothers.I do not have any
problem with them.To me THEY are what this list is all about.They spend
thier own money to get results that we collecters want to see.I really
look forward to seeing them again in tucson.I have been collecting for 5.5
years, and outside of haag and farmer, they continue to bring a total
professioalism to this great hobby.And as far as I am concerned, there is
nothing anyone can say bad about them that will affect me at all.What
happens to other people, concerning them is thier business.I will continue
to support them.And for the people who have never met them,come to tucson,
and find out for yourself.Or as I said before,CRAWL BACK INTO THE
WOODWORK.
