Mike, Imho you've more than made amends for your choice of words, it certainly is not the first time something has been said to offend some on the board, and it certainly won't be the last.
I can respect someone who gives their honest opinion of what they think whether I agree with it or not, your posts have always been intelligent and helpfull and I hope you continue to stay active here.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
