Here is the entire message as I received it; the quoting ']' is mine:

Sorry, but having had wierd material misattributed to me (the worst case
was part of a respose by someone to a Jesus Monry posting), I get a bit

Sorry about that; the problem here was it was a reply to Rod's post to
the other "you", and I (incorrectly) assumed it was the same thread by
virtue of it being the same subject.

Please note the intentional public reply to clear up any misunderstanding.
