So now you think I should thank you for your intrusion into Al's and my 
deal with Serge? It was pure luck that you were even there in the room 
since you have begun some "relationship" with Al at that Show. I'm sure 
that Al knew of my interest as I told him many times, and I feel 
confident that had you not bought the pieces Al would have closed the 
deal in his more casual manner, and probably at a better price or trade. 
No Greg, I feel that the entire 58 mg should have been mine and Allan's, 
and I think your scenario (read fantasy) is in your own mind and holds 
no value in my life.

No hard feelings, I could care less about that fucing asteroid anymore.
