Since my name is in the middle of this I guess I should say a few things.

Mark- I never knew you well but we had a cordial relationship and did some business. To ask to be deleted from my mailing list because I am friends with Jeff was very strange to say the least. Second, you accused me of being in a clique with Jeff and others to disparage Peter Chao. I always felt I was respectful to Peter and when he was attacked, which was often, I just stayed out of it.

And you thought I was rude for criticizing Peter's grammar because English is in fact his second language. Well, about a week later Peter was having trouble with something he wrote on the board and actually asked for my help, publicly no less.

So I think you treated me unfairly, and sent me more emails than was necessary for such a trivial matter.

With that, I will let you and Jeff duke it out (hey Jeff, get the pun "Duke" it out).
