Why should you feel unpopular for speaking up, Mark? I don't think the
group is biased towards me in any way. If I have posted something that is
offensive or inproper, I would willingly take the flak. It is no big deal
to screw up and apologise for it.

I agree, the tone and construction of that sentence is unwise, but to say
that I laid into Mark is perhaps overstating it. I regret answering Mark's
posting (and so is he, I am sure). I didn't realise some people are more
sensitive than I thought.

For the avoidance of doubt, and OT traffic, I apologise for making that
insensitive statement. Happy now, everyone?
