CFM, I accept that we are very different and I will bow out of this discussion because as you correctly state, I know very little about the Cowlitz and even less about the FERC relicensing. However, you and I do not know one another - you don't know what I paid for my charter license nor do you know how much I sold it for. I don't much care if you state your contentions about my lack of ethics man to man or not, the fact is you don't have a clue as to who I am and what I stand for. And I will hold your statements (on this and other issues) to more scrutiny because I am disturbed by your tactics. Is that fair? From where I'm sitting it is. I wish that weren't the case, I do believe that your concerns and passions are real and firmly held. I know that I could learn a lot from you about the Cowlitz. I have respect for Aunty M (even though she and I disagree more than we agree) but will always have doubts about you because of this episode. I'm sure you will survive however as shall I. I'm done fishing for an apology - you clearly can't or won't. I'm not sure you even think what you did warrants one and maybe that's the biggest issue of all. I'm done preaching - it ain't even Sunday yet. I'm out.
