>>Really Mike your anamosity is so evedent.<< Let's settle down folks. I think you're reading more into Mike's statement than what was said. I've know Mike a few years, both off and on the list, I have not ever seen the type of comments or behavior to warrant any kind of ill will. As Mike, stated, he's never seen David's fish. So any negative comment or inference would be foolhardy. And I don't believe Mike is one who would do that. I've reread his original posting and I believe he is simply recounting his own experience, which is what any one of us would do in a conversation. (i.e., I've had some bad luck at many places but have received great fish and service at so-and-so's). In his second reply, which appears to be poorly worded, he acknowledge that his comments refer only to his experiences and contacts and that he has never seen David's fish. I don't mean to put words in Mike's mouth, but I don't want to see a flame war develop over subsequent replies to a misunderstanding. My read is that both David and Mike have valuable information to add to the hobby. And both are always ready and willing to help or advise and I would trust both of their knowledge.
