of words for his post might not have been so far off from what I might

a good bit of my bluster (heck most of it) was from me defending my
perception of impropriety. I cannot say what happened there and I'm
still trying to figure it out myself, but I am sorry to have lashed out
where, even by my own hindsight, it may not have been called for. I may
not have liked how he phrased it, but it was likely something that I
could have brushed aside for the information it contained at any other
moment.

Oh. . .  I wish I had read that before I posted what I did about a
minute ago.  Apology accepted.	Thank you for having the fortitude to
make it.

John
