Subject: Bjarne's Post (was Swan Harps)

My response to Bjarne included the portion of his post on Harp-L that I
found repulsive, with regard to the recent status of Hering and its
position of abandonment of the North American market. His statements
were in total, were not taken out of context, and it is only to those
that I responded.

That is all that is necessary to repeat here, as the complete files to
which he referred are included in the archives, for those interested in
the history. It was obvious that some members of Harp-L did not read,
or digest, my original posts on the subject, due to some of the
conclusions drawn. Bjarne has apologized to me personally, and
publicly, and I accepted his apology, as I believe he is sincere.

It is my contention and belief that personal opinions are always
acceptable, desireable, welcome, and important - BUT it is always
necessary that they be identified as opinion, rather than fact based on
conjecture.

Statements offered as fact must be proveable without question, otherwise
such statements should not be made. A sure way to lose credibility is
to make uneducated allegations and pass them off as fact.

The Harp-L archives are a tremendous and valuable resource, but along
with all the great information available is also the volumes of
misrepresentation that become a part of the permanent record. These
cannot be retracted. So as Bjarne stated, be sure you want to send your
post before you hit the "send button"!
