Everyone (including Chuck) :
I got a message from a member about this zinger on Nels Cone so I need to clarify a few things here..
Nels Cone has a furious temper and had flown off the handle in extremis on the CR in earlier days, but I didn't kick him off twice I don't think. Once only maybe and technically he quit in a huff if my memory serves. Anyway, he has since apologized and I accepted that apology and I think he has calmed down a lot. He is still not on the CR list but I have told him he is welcome back so long as he keeps his cool and doesn't go ballistic again... (That offer stands for all... shall we say, "disenfranchised" past members!)
He and Chuck however have not buried the hatchet except in still trying to chop each other!
I did check BIOREM's Ebay feedback and see only 4 responses, all positive, In addition, there are 56 positives for his Koldfusen moniker.. So, despite my bumping heads in the past with Nels, I think he is a reliable source for bike stuff.
So I urge all youse guys and gals to be careful in zinging folks.. that's not what the list is about anyway. And I wish Chuck and Nels would quit fighting.. it ain't becoming to either!
