EMAIL FROM N1FM

Trish Please forward this to HGL for I do not have his e-mail. Trish and Joe, Trish I want to apologize for the name calling the other night. It was uncalled for. I also appreciate you stepping up to the plate and admitting your fault in it as well. I am asking both you politely to please stay out of the skirmish that Mike and I have. It is very clear that Mike wants your involvement so he can bait me onto the frequency for your recordings on UStream. The UStream videos that are posted are actually giving me good future material on Mikey for Youtube postings and yes I have downloaded them. He made me a project first and involved others to do his dirty work with regard to the FCC thus I responded with my project. Trish you and I had a common bond to help a fellow ham in distress and I am proud that we did that, however, Mikey is telling Joe and others that I only did it to taunt him. Mikey is not worth all the work, money, and 180 miles in gas for a taunting. I did it because I wanted to, so Joe stop telling people that. Trish and Joe, I promise that I will not join the conversation as long as you do not mention me by call, nickname or innuendo and I will do the same when I am talking. That has always applied to Mikey but he chooses not to agree to it. I would like to have that agreement from the two of you in order to avoid escalated tensions. Please let me know if you would like to agree to this without condition. FM

This Darkness
by: Captain Trips and Hunter
Please don't dominate the rap Jack
if you got nothing new to say
If you please don't back up the track
This train got to run today
Spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Heard some say better run away
Others say you better stand still
Now I don't know but I been told
it's hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I heard it said
it's just as hard with the weight of lead
Who can deny? Who can deny?
it's not just a change in style
One step done and another begun
in I wonder how many miles?
Spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Things went down we don't understand
but I think in time we will
Now I don't know but I been told
in the heat of the sun a man died of cold
Do we keep on coming or stand and wait
with the sun so dark and the hour so late?
You can't overlook the lack Jack
of any other highway to ride
It's got no signs or dividing lines
and very few rules to guide
Spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
I saw things getting out of hand
I guess they always will
I don't know but I been told
if the horse don't pull you got to carry the load
I don't know whose back's that strong
Maybe find out before too long
One way or another
One way or another
One way or another
this darkness got to give
One way or another
One way or another
One way or another
this darkness got to give
