- From Tom Bourbon (921231 15:14)
-
- This is probably the final time I will use the "reply" function!
-
- To Bruce Nevin, Bill Powers, and most of all to Martin Taylor, I am
- happy to see that all of you "went up" what appears to be several
- levels after my fat-fingered error. Martin, the ideas yuo discussed in
- your post (921230) went directly to the heart of my concerns in the
- apology: I use remarks much stringer than anything in the wayward post
- iin conversations with friends, when we are in private places. And I
- use far stronger remarks to characterize my own actions when I find
- them wanting. (You might have been interested in my comments to
- myself upon seeing a private post sitting in csg-l basket!)
-
- My first concerns were that so many people are listening in the background,
- and that Martin might (understandably) take the remarks as insulting. I
- was not sure enough about how he perceived our interactions that I could
- assume the post would pass as a casual and careless remark.
-
- I have no experience with other nets and interest groups, but from all I
- hear and see, the tone of csg-l is different from many others. I value
- the content and the tone of the material on this net. And even more
- than before, I value the sensitivities and kindnesses of the participants.
-
- Until later,
- Tom Bourbon
