Frankly, Marjorie, my intent is not to argue but to clarify whether my request be to you, Bob or anyone else. However, I don't know the personalities on the LIST, and oftentimes I find that there are so many signatures-some above, some below-closures are not always clear to me. NOW, LET'S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT. MY DEEPEST, MOST HUMBLE APOLOGIES, BOB. I'LL STAND BY PATIENTLY AND IN CONTRITION WHILE I AM FLAILED WITH CONDEMNATION. I ACCEPT MY GUILT. TO MARJORIE, MY SINCEREST THANKS FOR SETTING MY PC AND ME STRAIGHT(SEEMS I CAN USE SOME ASSIST IN THE VISION DEPARTMENT, TOO). MY APOLOGIES FOR NOT DIRECTING MY COMMENTS TO YOU INITIALLY. CERTAINLY, I CONTINUE TO LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE WHICH I KNOW IS FORTHCOMING. In the meantime, I would also request that since many of our communiques are lengthy and continuous-from one member to another-that some separation be indicated. Under no circumstances would I wish to commit this faux pas again. I stand humbled as I enter the headdress of the sun! Sincerely, E P. S. You handle the keyboard most competently, and you express yourself beautifully and in a most caring way. My response was to comments written for the LIST. I would hope you would post your reply in kind. If that is uncomfortable, my email address is above. I hope that this exchange is between new friends. There is no malice intended here.
