Hi Howard,

Howard my friend, you've made mistakes here, I know I have, hell everyone has.

So how about lightening up on Don (he didn't park next to you one day and scratch your car did he) ?

If the guy takes the time and trouble to help someone out then that's great but it's somewhat harsh to refer to a mistake he made three months ago. If he makes another error, I'm sure he'll be more than glad to receive your positive comments.

Fair enough ?
