>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,
