Dear Conchlers:

I want to offer a lengthier apology for my accidental posting of last
night, and to apologize to Emilio, whom I have wronged. While it is true
that I have been under a lot of stress lately, nothing that Emilio has
said was worthy of my hateful message. Even had it only went to the
single subscriber that I had intended, it still would have been dead
wrong.
What was I thinking? I have badly insulted a person that I don't even
know. I should stick to the old adage that says "If you don't have
something nice to say, keep your mouth shut." But I could have said nice
things about Emilio. He is a very intelligent man who doesn't hesitate
to share his knowledge with others. And he has created an excellent web
site that I have visited and enjoyed on more than one occasion. I feel
lower than snail dung for my careless and rude actions. Please accept my
apology, Emilio. I hope that you don't hate me too much, I'm really not
as bad of a lout as my careless words imply.

I also want to my express my shame to the rest of the list. I have felt
sick ever since I sent that message. I have insulted every one of you
with my venomous words. And I have deeply embarrassed myself in the
process. I have caused more turmoil just when things were settling down.
It is not Emilio who should leave the list, but myself. I am not worthy
to be here any longer. I am deeply sorry for all the problems that I
have caused.

Signing off,
                  Andrew
