I want to apologize to all Dopers and especially to John Mace, Emacknight and grude. John Mace’s posts are often excellent, making my singling out of him particularly wrong. As excuse I can offer only an excess of Holiday intoxication.
I’d be happy to be friends with any of you, in real life, or, more likely, you’d not want to be my friend since IRL I’m still an obnoxious asshole.
