I am very sorry for misattributing Banjiman's quote of Barden of England's comment to you.

I should have been more careful in attributing comments. I recognize that you (Banjiman) are saying that you understands how "blacking up" can cause offense.

I hope that you wIll accept my apology. If I could edit my comment to this thread which attributed Barden of England's comment to you, I would do so.
