- It could be you are right about everything except the "selective" part.
- It was a 500+ line post of yours I was following up to, and I may well
- have deleted a reference line somewhere in the middle of the post.
- But if so, it was because I overlooked it, not because I selectively
- deleted it.
-
- Note to all readers: In an earlier follow-up to this same short post
- of Susan's, I carelessly assumed "reference line" referred to an
- attribution line preceding the text of the article. My mistake there
- was just the opposite: I left in an extra attribution line, and I thought
- that was what was confusing Susan, just as Adrienne was "confused" (or
- at least may have thought some newbies might be confused) when I did
- the same thing in following up to a post of hers.
-
- Anyway, my apologies to Susan and whoever else [including myself :-) ]
- who was confused by the missing reference line. I honestly thought
- I was talking about words due to Susan.
-
- BTW I am curious to know whether Susan endorses the words I mistakenly
- attributed to her. They sounded quite in character with the other
- things she has written.
-
- >I guess he'll be accusing me of forgery now.
-
- No, Susan. Unlike Chaney, I am very careful about how I word my
- accusations. I guess I overestimated the ability of people to
- draw fine distinctions, though, and I guess some were confused
- by *me* into thinking I had accused Adrienne of forgery. To such
- networkers, as distinct from those who were confused by *Adrienne*,
- I apologize for the confusion.
