Mark
First, being relatively new to the clarinet list, there's no way I could have
known gtg had ever posted his real name. Whereas, Mark, despite what you say
about how you sign your name, I did clearly know your name, therefore there are
obviously times you signed in full. I had no way of knowing he was NOT hiding his
identity. As has been pointed out recently on the list, some people will say
things on the internet they would never say in conversation face to face. This is
what I thought was happening here. Now that it's been made clear that many people
do know who gtg is I will say that had I known too, I would not have added my
comment about honour and courage. It is now apparent that I made an assumption
that proves unfounded. While I still would have liked him to sign with his actual
name I apologize.

I will assume, Mark (see, there I go again) that your last paragraph about not
accusing him referred to the name posting and nothing else, because, in fact, I
was defending him and his right to free speech.
