I wasn't going to get involved in this mess, I was going to observe and
delete, but after reading this last message I find I can refrain no more:

1.  I found the apology genuine and sincere.  Bravo!!

2.  Did you really read his entire posting?? He wrote;
"And finally, to those who sent email reminiscent of 
vigilante = self-proclaimed lords of the net,...grow up."

I see nothing wrong with telling those, who would send such e-mail messages,
to grow up, and even "get a life".
