I just returned again to this thread, read what you posted.........note that you are a moderator here went back and re-read the thread and can now see why you may be offended at me.

Far as I'm concerned.............although I've not been here long .......... it looks like an outstanding BBS to me..........some very high quality intellects are discussing subjects on which I have a deep interest and I'm learning and thinking every time I return to this board.

reading back to the post against which you take offense I can now see why you might think I...........( though I did not then... and I do not now ) ........was implying that people who took an opposeing stance to me were not to be trusted.

The reason I posted what I did was because I had just come from a site reporting misuse of BBS's and had found a tool that allows me to check a posted link against a data base of sites known to be funded by those with axes to grind.

My apology is unreserved, I will post it any forum you nominate, I will also apologise , in public to anyone who may have taken offense.

I will also withdraw from this board if you wish it,

regards, Dave Goodrich
