Thank you for your efforts JB. I wrote at least 30 responses to Bobs
comments concerning AA while in the midst of several strings over the last
three days and NONE of my comments were intended to be directed at you JB.
I was simply responding to what I found posted from Bob in these strings. I
fail to see how I can do more to make amends to you other than to say I am
deeply sorry for any harm I have caused you and to promise that I will take
the time required to ensure that such an error on my behalf will not be
repeated in future.
