Shelly, please don't ever feel like you must apologize for yourself in any
context on this list. You'll come to realize over time that nobody takes
comments in a personal manner, and nobody ever levels comments at another
person with the intent of attacking them on a personal level. The humor
gets a little out of hand sometimes, but it's more an exchange of
cameraderie than insults. Speak your heart and mind unabashedly, and
expect the full potential range of responses, and know that you're
welcome with us now and always.
