Scott, one of your posts this evening caused me to step back and
consider something.

You and I have exchanged barbs many times on this newsgroup and disagree
about many things.

One thing I didn't realize however is how you apparently take some of my
comments to heart. Believe it or not most of them are intended to be
light-hearted but I now realize you may be taking them personally and
seriously.

It has never been my intent to cause you any anxiety or to make you
uncomfortable in a lasting way. If I have, please accept my sincere
apology.

I enjoy lively debates and sometimes can get a little caustic.
It's nothing personal. It's the debate.

Backpeddling at its best......
