Dear Jim,
I sit by and read these conversations and wonder if I should say
anything. Yes, you and I have made our peace. Sean never proved anything
to be correct. I have never met him or spoken to him or emailed him as far
as I can remember. He doesn't know the facts pertaining to anything as far
as it concerns me and results don't necessarily mean the same things to all
parties involved. Debi
