I want to send the list my apologies for my comments about K.G,
but they are simply jokes -- bad ones, because obviously some people have
gotten offended by them. I'm not saying that those who have taken offense
are wrong -- rightfully so, but nevertheless they were and still are
jokes. Perhaps I took them to far -- either way, I'm dropping it as of
now.
