Geez, Gould, I gave you a flat-out "apology" (that you were going to bronze)
in the boat speed thread. You, OTH, in true liberal fashion, blame somebody
else.

An apology is only appropriate when one has committed an offensive personal
act.
(Such as calling somebody a liar).

Absent such egregious, brutish behavior, an admission of error is sufficient. I
admitted my error, and explained the basis upon which it was founded.

Being incorrect once in a while isn't a sin, nor should taking a position
ultimately proved to be wrong be construed as an insult by those on the other
side of the question.

The entire purpose of discussion is to explore truth, not determine who should
be taken out an shot for being less correct on an issue.
