This is a message for Frank B. Kotler

Frank,


I just want to say how sorry I am that a minor metaphor matastasized
into a mountain of misery. At least, it did for me and those around
me.

It is often the case that we stumble in our ignorance, but I just want
you to know no harm was intended. I was just being a jerk in response
to perceived provocation.

I now understand that things were a little more complex than simple
banter. I have forgiven all, and I hope you can find it in your heart
to do the same.

In sincerity and humility,

J. Scott Waters
Former moderator CLAX

Metaphor-fu (sp)

In that it creates a false impression, a simple misspelling is
metaphorical as well. In either case, I am sorry!

Hi Scott,

I'm getting old and my memory's all paged out. I recall you used to help
Chuck before his death, but I don't recall what our dispute was. In any
case, apology accepted and I apologize for any misery I caused you.
Let's take it to private mail, eh?

Best,
Frank

i just have to say a big thank you to Frank; thank you!
the life can go to many ways, but understand and think in informatics
is never time lost; the rich of someone not is only the money...

but i have to say religion is the other argument important
and we have to pray God

per quanto riguarda la vita io penso che sia come nuotare nel mare:
se uno ha paura affonda, ma per vincere ogni paura uno deve pregare
Dio...
ma forse sono troppo giovane per parlare di questo,
sono stato sempre un 'ragazzo', un giovane che non conosce per la poca
esperienza...
Ciao
speriamo che vi vada meglio...

Hey, I want to say how sorry I am too, Frank. It was Mother's day and I
didn't get any of you moderators a card. We are calling you moderators
"Mothers" now, right? Well, that's what I heard ... ;-) Nathan, can you
confirm?

PS. I do have an on-topic post coming through. Don't ban me just yet!

Well, the moderating task *is* a "nurturing" type of job. :)

Nathan.
