Thank you, Carl.

I know from the past that Jimmy and Brad do not pressure you one way or the other in regards to your posting activity. I believe that your apology was self-motivated and sincere, and it is appreciated and accepted.

As I have said before, one of my many flaws is to reach anger when falsely accused of anything. This trait, I believe, began in the 5th grade when Mrs. Farwell accused me of something that Jay Richardson did. And, she made it stick.

Even at my advanced age those feelings of anger, frustration and betrayl return when I am accused of something I did not do. And, to my discredit, I too often give vent to them.

I remembered those feelings so well, that when I had kids of my own, I did everything humanly possible to never accuse them of anything that they did not do.


To their credit, they recognized the extra effort that my wife and I made and have thanked us many times over the years.

And, Carl, I am as appreciative as they are. Thank you again.
