<BODY>
<DIV>I think apologies are greatly over-rated in our modern extra sensitive
culture.</DIV>
<DIV>Spontaneous apologies, like I bump into someone and say "Oh, excuse me"
before I even think about it, or "I'm sorry" the moment I hear something went
wrong, are entirely appropriate and help prevent half of us from killing the
other half every day. But "you owe me an apology" renders the whole thing
unsound: if I'm sorry, I'll say so, if I don't, I'm probably not, if you are
offended, you have as much right to free speech as I do, so offend me right
back, if I'm even listening.</DIV>

<DIV>P.S. This is a test. I think John has me blacklisted, even though I
faithfully adhered to his two week moratorium.</DIV>
