Dendall, perhaps your original post was as hasten as those posting their
"misinformation"?
I hear your apology and I accept it. I can only read the words that you
post, I can not try to determine what you actually meant by them. Your
explanation about not wanting to get petty and point fingers sounds very
reasonable and I accept it as your true meaning. Please also understand the
feeling I and others have had about the original post. We only can see
what's there.
