Hi Bill,
I obviously cannot speak for others but I would like to say that if you or
anyone else sees fit to offer unfavourable criticism on anything I post I
hope you will never, whatever the circumstances, feel the need to offer me a
public apology.
As far as I am concerned my posted URL's to any list invite criticism. To
me all responses, whether they are pondered at length or shot from the hip,
are valid.
If I get a gratuitously spiteful response from someone suffering from low
blood sugar whose wife/husband just ran off with their best friend then it's
my tough luck that I caught them on a bad day.
Just my 2c
