I whole heartedly agree. If you'll check the July 97 archives you'll see that I
apologized to Jules if I had given the impression that he was trying to rip people
off(I also complimented his TBI workmanship). I suggested to him at that time that
a simple apology would be enough to resolve things between us. He never apologized
to me.
I am, however delighted that he has apologized to the list and I hope his most
recent behavior will be maintained.
