Dear Jed Marum,

You have nothing to apologize for...as a matter of fact, I was going to put in a little notation to you in my snotty note up above that my tirade was not directed at you and I'm sorry I didn't, now. You were sweet and sincere and I (as well as the rest of us, I'm sure) value your opinion. Besides, you didn't start the ruckus. If you'll scroll back, you'll see it mentioned earlier--but even if you had started it, that would've been fine. :) Your posting was from the heart and that's always okay. I suppose sometimes the holier-than-thou tone (absent in yours, by the way) that comes across in these threads is annoying to me. But then again, I should chill just a bit because many times, written words come off sounding MUCH differently than they would if they were spoken. Anyway, sorry for the confusement (my new word...!) and I'm sorry I unearthed a pet peeve of yours. (I used to have a pet peeve but he ran away). Come on, I'll buy you a drink! :)
