To all colleagues on this list - I very much regret the excessive language
in my unintentionally broadcast message. I particularly regret the childish
exaggeration in my characterization of Chronos' progress to date. I
actually feel that Chronos represents the wave of the future and deserves
the full support of the community. My dumb remarks arose from
disappointment that our "neat idea" for international consensus on
chronostratigraphy did not fit the practical needs of Chronos at this time.
