My deepest apologies.

The only reason not to give away the name of the
sender - a real p-lister, I solemnly swear - was to
protect the sender from the predictable and
understandable fury of many a great American.

I could not help responding publicly. It will not
happen again. And yet, as I stoutly believe, these
messages of mine managed to infuse fresh courage, as
the days of grandeur are, once again, soon to come.
