To Eric,

You are a good friend, and I really do owe you a lot.

Such good friends are hard to find; and I would hate to lose
a friend over the wpkl screw up and what i see as a frivolous
and basically unjustifiable protest.

However, you are really not to blame for either the protest
or the wpkl's actions. So, I want to apologize to you for
the rude and sarcastic language that i directed toward
you in the tail end of this thread.

I could have easily made all of my points
without being the least bit rude
towards you, had i simply taken a moment to reflect before
i posted a frustrated reply.

So please accept my apology.

I understand that you were basically defending your close
friend whom I believe to be at least marginally culpable.
But, I should take that up with him-not you.(and i shall)

You can e-mail me if you like.
