Hi Michael and all,

I?ve been on the list for about 3.5 years now and I remember very well
some of Mike?s lunatic rantings, so those of you who have been on the
list longer than I have should also remember (and I?ve been told that it
was even worse before I was on the list).

But, the only thing that I was ?unhappy? about was when you (Michael)
talked about Mike?s medical issues. I understand that you wanted people
to know WHY Michael is the way he is, but it?s not your decision to talk
about that. Nobody should talk about someone else?s medical situation in
a forum like this. I work for a medical software company and we see
tons of patient information all the time. If I were to mention
something about a patient, I would be fined by the government and then
fired (and I don?t even work for the gov?t). We don?t have to worry
about that here on the list, but it just goes to show that the gov?t is
serious about keeping private health information PRIVATE, so we all
should do the same.

I?ve seen you have a few lunatic rantings over the years, too, so you
might want to be careful (as Eric just mentioned in his last post).

I didn?t like it when some people wanted to cast their vote on whether
Art should let Mike back on the list or not. We shouldn?t pressure Art
one way or another (so I?m not going to ?vote? on it) since he is the
boss of this list. He?ll do what he thinks is best for the list.

BTW, I?m glad Mike and Robert are safe now. I don?t know either of them
personally, but I?m sure that they are good people and don?t deserve to
be locked up in a foreign country.

Regards,
Bob

Jim, Gary, Eric and all,

??????? No, it is NOT a joke. There is nothing funny about
This situation at all.

??????? I stated NOTHING in my post Mike has is not born
Out in Mike's own public statements. (though Jim informs
Me it may have been a different prescription drug he gets
Out of Mexico) - hell folks, where have you been? READ THE STINKING
ARCHIVES.

??????? If you all really cared about Mike's welfare you would Be trying
to support him in getting professional help, get on prescribed
medication and get stabilized.

??????? You are all having knee jerk reactions. Think about it. If Mike
were your brother wouldn't you want to see him get proper treatment?

??????? Mike is home safe - thank God. While he was in danger I Did
everything possible I could to minimize any negative impact On him. The
list started yammering about it and I pointed out we Needed to remain
silent lest we make matters worse for Mike and Rob.??

??????? John Blennert gave the talk before the auction and we agreed It
should not be telecast, as John went through a very similar situation in
Oman a couple of years ago and Omani officials offered him $235,000 to
get Mike back on Omani territory (so they could Incarcerate him). John
TOLD Mike this upon his return and Mike Acted like John was blaming him
for John's incarceration.

??????? This is ALSO NOT NEW INFORMATION - but somehow
This group seems to think since Mike has been through a hard Time of
late we should pretend he doesn't have a problem.

??????? Mike isn't going to listen to me because I am strait with him
AND NO ONE ELSE seems to be willing to or they somehow just Don't see
the self destructive behavior right in front of their face.

??????? If you all think everything Mike does does not add up to a Big
problem for HIM, or, you just don't get it, or you just don't Think it
is your "place" to confront him with his self destructive Behavior --
well, folks, I don't know what to tell you, but I can't Do that to a
friend. (Yes, I am sure Mike does not consider me A friend right now -
but as far as I am concerned, I am the only One who is really relating
to him as a friend).

??????? Oh, ya, you can tell yourselves what I have said is not
friendly. Well, what I think is not friendly is seeing a brother in
trouble and Being unwilling to deal with him about it.

??????? I am dumbfounded at people's reactions - do you think that just
Because he could have had his hands cut off or been in prison for Years
or even put to death that that means we should all pretend He didn't put
himself in that position AFTER it was clearly explained To him by John
Blennert that Oman was OUT TO GET HIM?

??????? - Going to a KINGDOM you HAVE BEEN TOLD is out to get you
??????? - Self medicating with serious prescription drugs
??????? - Being a business man who regularly bursts into ranting and
Raving at potential customers and co-businessmen
??????? These are all serious self destructive behaviors. So, Greg, Jim
And Eric, if you really give a damn about Mike's welfare Don't just say,
"Hooray! You got back safe THIS TIME.", help him get the help he needs.

??????? Sincerely, Michael
