I think it has been very positive as Tony knows now where his name could come from.... Respectfully, Xavier Panades I Blas 55, Marksbury Road Bedminster Bristol BS3 5JY England (EC) http://www.acs.bolton.ac.uk/~xp1pls/ From: "Tony D'Agostino" <adagostino@houston.rr.com> Reply-To: paleonet@nhm.ac.uk To: "PaleoNet List Address" <PaleoNet@nhm.ac.uk> Subject: paleonet no more stirring Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2006 17:44:50 -0500 Dear Paleo-Netters, I have received several messages "off net" and we've all seen todays flurry. Most of them boil down to some level of participation in the political debate or "oh no, what have you started". Most of all, there is a strong wish not to unleash another wave of emotional emails on a hot-button subject. I truly regret stirring up a pot that clearly didn't need to be stirred. I mistakenly thought that first message would be taken in the light-hearted way it was intended. If you are on the paleo net, even semi-regularly, you know the Americans were chastised by many for going overboard with messages concerning evolution, ID, creationism, etc., including our backwards politics. I thought I was just throwing out a joke about someone else's political controversy. I never even use the word y'all, I just put that in to add to the joke, thinking that people would see the Texas address and laugh (or so I thought). As we say over here, "My Bad". (i.e. my mistake w/apology implied). Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa Tony D'Agostino 20746 Prince Creek Drive Katy, Tx. 77450 281-646-1660 adagostino@houston.rr.com "The limits of a tyrant are determined by the endurance of those that oppose him" Frederick Douglass
