Hey, Doug?

Threats of violence against you?

No!...

But I wonder if maybe "you" felt the fleeting desire to punch me in the nose this evening after proverbially hitting you below the belt with that disparaging comment about the British Space Program.

I confess, when provoked, I can be nasty.
It's a character trait that I'm not proud of at all.
I'm sorry if it offended you.

As far as your remark about "demanding" something from TPS?
I won't and don't hold any grudge against you for that incorrect
analysis.

Do you accept my proverbially extended "olive branch"?

Is that a yes?...
Well then?...
Let's leave this unpleasantness behind us...There's a lot of good news from space exploration circles this month, let's not spoil our delight in it any further.

Sincerily; Jacob
