In a message dated 98-08-02 00:15:36 EDT, you write: << You might consider that when you assume you might have offended folk before the fact, and predicate an apology on the surmised probability of a possible offense, you might, indeed, be offending a certain faction by presuming to apologize for an equally presumed offense when, in actuality, you are imposing on an otherwise un-offended populous by the unnecessary insistence upon a likewise equally unnecessary and fallacious apology for an offense that was, for all practical purposes, non-existent. In other words, don't worry about it. Keep smiling and press on. Insist on verification of offense, then decide on merit of the counter argument whether or not an apology, or even a clarification of statement, is necessary. Be right, or be wrong, but be whichever destiny decrees, with conviction. Then re-group as necessary. Just a little tip from your uncle Ron. (I really shouldn't drink on Saturday night, I know. Call it a collaboration between me and Jack Daniels. Please, be kind %-) ) Ron >> See what happens when you get Ron upset. Can anyone out there translate what he just said? :) Wim
