Sure, humble apology to you if you aren't just another of Doug's pseudonyms.
I can certainly appreciate your dismay at being so accused. (It wasn't your
name, by the way, but the intermittentness, lack of substance, and apparent
subtext, of your posts, which rang alarm bells.) As I said to Paul, there is
always going to be a small margin of error. As far as "defending" me, all
you really did was repost the most outrageous and supposedly offensive snip
of Doug's diatribe. Perhap I might get an apology from you for *that*.
(Offlist would be fine.)
