[AT] A sad day??

[CEE VILL]

Ken,

No way possible you will please all the people all of the time.  In my 
opinion, you have nothing to apologize for.  Your intent is clear, at least 
to most readers.  The best thing probably is to sit back and let these 
little fires burn themselves out.

Enjoy the kid!!

Charlie
