Some days ago I made a mistake in a posting. It was quickly pointed out and I responded by acknowledging my error and apologising for confusing the issue. I then went on to discuss the original subject which lead to an interesting, but short-lived exchange on the theme of the opportunities lost by those getting PD young. It would seem that the fact I made an error is of more interest to the list than the subsequent discussion, as postings referring to the mistake are still coming in. I am not sure just what is gained by rehashing a mistake already acknowledged and apologised for, but it keeps popping up. Ken Becker experienced something similar after his recent accidental sending of a large attachment. He apologised several times but for days the complaints rolled in. It seems, as Bill Clinton has found, that one apology is no longer enough. Which is a pity. However - as my error did not actually affect the fate of nations, and as I am not running for office or likely to be impeached for not knowing my 'means' from my 'medians', I shall confine myself to the one apology already made.
