Esprix, Sorry if I came off as an ass in that last post. It’s just that when I posted regrets, I truly did mean those to go to a wide audience. My contribution to the hijack problem was more a disservice to Euty and to the boards than to any one else. You and several others were good enough to point out our error, but in the end I thought what was being solicited was an apology to the boards. Of course, as you noted, the fact that the apology addressed something that bugged you personally made it gratifying for you, too. And that’s not a bad thing, just a positive byproduct. My concern was that when you thanked me and others for the apology, others would think my apology was much narrowly addressed than I had intended. All this by way of explanation. And to help this thread reach the 7 pages some people are predicting–hate to disappoint anyone. ---

Since I explained my position on why I posted as I did, and the fact that this post has wound down without too much blood, could it be closed? Seeing as how I started it? ---

Less than 60 seconds after me, you shut down my seven-page goal. LOL ---
