[AT] A sad day

[Ken Knierim]

Herbert, George, and other list members.
      If I came across as a detractor in this conversation, I humbly
apologize. That has never been my intent or goal.  I have rather
strong feelings about some of the statements made (both pro and con)
but I've attempted to maintain a level-headed approach in my
statements, especially when the viewpoint was different than mine. I
apologize if this has not been clear.
I feel that when the discussion turned to an argument it became a
burden on the list and have attempted to steer away from it since. My
sincere apologies if my posts have been taken negatively. I'll shut up
now.
