No need to apologize to me - nor, I should think, to the possibly many Mudcatters who have not even looked at the thread in question. I skimmed it a few times as it progressed; I must have missed the offending comment, and I'm not going to go back and search it out ... All I picked up was Bobert expressing some hesitation to join in with the prevailing sentiment; nothing wrong with that. As I say, I seem to have missed something - but I certainly don't need an apology.
