I have too. But it appears that I need to speak up on list.
(I've previously apologized to Stan off list.) I hereby offer
my most humble apologies to those on this list who have been
annoyed by the unusually high volume of off-topic posts over
the last several days. I am the one who started the original
off-topic thread of "British vs. American English", and I very
much regret doing so. Had I anticipated the huge volume of
off-topic posts which would ensue, I would never have posted
in the first place. I hope I have learned my lesson. I will
think long and hard before making another off-topic post.
Now please, gentlemen, let's cease this rancor. If you feel
you must attack someone, attack me. I started this. It's my
fault. I value the contributions of all on this list, whether
they agree with me or not. In fact, I have learned a great deal
from those with whom I do not agree. Sometimes, they have even
caused me to re-evaluate my position. Now, I appeal to you all,
let's get back to the business of helping each other instead
of attacking each other. Peace, my friends. Peace.
