I agree wholeheartedly with oldelkhunter. Just like most of the rest of us on here, I express my opinions on items and ideas. I certainly plan on continuing to do so. I don't believe I have ever set out to deliberately deride someone or their ideas to the point of needing to be apologetic about it, and doubleA, I don't ever remember you making any comments to or about anyone that could be taken derrrogatory. That's just not your style. In my mind, you have been nothing but friendly and helpful.
It's quite evident by your "Public Apology" post that this matter has had an impact with you. I can only speak for myself, but I would hope you take that matter with a grain of salt. We all know you for the gentleman that you are, and the helpful information you provide. Any comments otherwise I believe to be totally unwarranted.
