Re: Monahans garbage
I think your comments are well put Mike.
I think Steve has done his best and has good intentions with respect to
this sale. Whats disappointing is that it seems to have gotten so screwed up.
Even with the good intentions though, I thought the comment was not
justified in a public forum about not haveing the 2 nickels to bid.
However, I have also made a few waves as you know. Perhaps he was referring
to me.
