Hi jamas !
Sorry this've happened to you;I strongly believe no one should be insulted by any means & if it do happens with no means then an apologize my self statement can clean up the mess.
I read the same posted reply scott wrote here & honestly wasn't able to pin point who was the person scott was addressing his statement.
Scott is great guy & i bid if you address your concerns directly to him i quite sure he'll understand what was your intentions.
Pm'd scott your phone # and ask him to talk with you so any confusion can be clear up.
Dakar was just the begining.
