**Left Hand of Dorkness** , I owe to you a public apology.
I am sorry.
I would like to offer a reason even if I have no excuse.
Unfortunately reason requires thinking
and I was not thinking.
Sorry :smack: Sorry :smack: Sorry :smack:
If it’s any consolation, of the many Mod notes I’ve received
the one about you was the only one spot on!
(Anyone receiving more than two Mod notes within one thread please contact me - we’ll form a club!)
I will not link to the thread because I do not wish to compound my error.
Once again, “Sorry 'bout that.”

Sorry, dude, but if you’re going to post about shit like this, then people are going to want to know what the fuck you’re talking about.
If all you really wanted to do was send **LHoD** a personal apology, the private messaging function is available to you. But you posted a thread, and Dopers have the right to know what the hell you’re talking about.
I’m guessing [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=385925) is the thread in question, though i may be wrong.

Apology accepted, **Will**. Honestly, I’d forgotten all about it, and it wasn’t until **mhendo** gave me that link that I had any idea what you might be talking about :). Anyways, thanks for the apology, but certainly don’t smack yourself in the head over it! It was genuinely no big deal to me.

**Left Hand of Dorkness** , thank you.
**mhendo** , be careful, that’s what I did.
Now I can only hope this thread will die a quiet death.

I’m not sure what prompted this sudden attack of remorse, but I’ll go ahead and close the thread. In the future, consider using email or a private message for subjects you don’t want to discuss publicly.
