I apologize for my overzealous attitude.  I had a bad day; everyone has bad 
days
once in a while.  In retrospect it was a bad idea, but it seemed like a good
idea at the time.  You know, when you think you're just being stern, but you
cross the line and become overtly hostile.  I did not mean for the thread to
burst into a flame war, and I did not mean to anger so many people.

But just in my defense, why is it okay for Mr. Sarginson to use mis-conceived
assumptions and hostility as a means to criticize me, but I am forbidden to 
use
the same in at least a directed argument?  Please don't take this the wrong 
way,
but in my eyes, Mr. Sarginson's post had as much point as mine, maybe even 
less.
 This is all I will say about this matter.  Mr. Sarginson, if you have issues
with me and you wish to discuss them, I urge you to email me personally (off 
the
list) and we can discuss these in private.  The same goes for anyone else I 
have
offended; I will extend a personal apology to anyone who emails me directly 
and
requests such.

Once again, I sincerely apologize for my behavior on this list.  I am never
interested in making enemies but sometimes the worse half of me takes over.  I
also apologize for causing the list to be polluted with off-topic posts.  Once
again, this is a generic apology; if anyone wishes to discuss this matter with
me any further, I urge you to contact me directly and keep this discussion off
the list.  I've done enough damage already without polluting the list further.
