Dear Jim Kroger, thank you for your apologizes, and may I as a list-member apologize to you for the immature and rather impolite reaction we as a list had on your clearly frustated outburst. I sure hope that those premature emails some of us sent to your collegues didn't bring you to much havoc; those emails were clearly not appropriate as your current writing shows. And bytheway, did you manage to get off this normally peacefull list? If not we sure would love to read details on how you tried and failed to get off the list, just to allow us to help you to spot a mistake either in outr mailing-list-software or in your unsubscribe emails. > I hope you understand that I did not intend this, and hope that you > will accept my humble apology for those messages. I, for one, sure can understand how you came to post like that. On the other hand, I hope you forgive us the flaming were we should have offered help. -- groetjes, carel
No problem at all, Carel, I don't blame the list. It's clear my stupidity earned some responses. The administrator sent copies to every professor I've ever been affiliated with and a few extra, here and at UCLA, as well as my boss here, Dr. Cohen, and the postmaster at Princeton. This could conceivably cost me my job as a post doc in this lab, which means my career is kaput.
So, no I understand your anger at my posts. I am still stunned that I was so stupid as to sit here and vent my frustrations without thinking through to the obvious conclusion that even though I had been unable to get a response there was always the possibility that this was because of an error on my part and in fact the messages were going out. How, how could I be so distracted and idiotic to ever commit such lunacy? Now I'm paying.
Thanks for your message, Jim _________________________________________________________ James K.
