I have to thank Elizabeth. I did not realize that I had publicly posted a 
private comment to me by Chris. This mistake alone can be traced to the cause of 
much of the brouhaha. With all the back and forth stuff and the fact that I 
was taking it not too seriously, I was not diligent in noticing from whom the 
post came - off the "L" or private. It was entertaining such a small part of my 
attention that I let it slip. 

I feel that the honorable thing to do is admit my mistake and apologize for 
it. It was the factor that I inadvertantly brought to the table that helped 
escalate this series of unfortunate events that lead to personal character 
assasination (based on emotions and not on fact) posted to a public forum, hurt 
feelings for Chris and Elizabeth, and a can of worms for the listowner, who is 
diligently trying to resolve the issue to everyone's satisfaction.
