Re: sp. "Opal"?

[David Sanchez <barbax2@yahoo.com>]

I do not want the situation to get out of hand. but I must state this;
me and Julio have resolved any differences and I do not wish to give
this any more life. But Mike Jacobs does not Know me? In fact we have
only seen each at fish shows he has never been to the Importers with
me nor does he know who they are."  I also know who Dave Sanchez is
and what he" .let's talk, not berate someone when you know not what
you speak"
.  I have already apologized was this neccasary?  I wish to put this
bad thing to an end and lets please just enjoy the sharing of
knowledge but Mike YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO I KNOW NOR DO YOU KNOW ME. This
was just adding fuel to the fire.
