I most sincerely apologize, Amos. I should never have gotten angry and riled up and offered traditional "fighting words." I have far, far too much respect for you, both as an individual and as a human being, to do violence to you, even cyberviolence. The last time I fought with someone as old as you are I broke her false teeth and snapped her cane in two and it's haunted me ever since. I vowed that I'd never again engage in fisticuffs with someone who's old and decrepit and out of shape and who obviously couldn't fight off an enraged gnat. So I ask you to accept my apology and I promise that I will watch my temper better in the future, mon vieux.
