No, you weren't looking for an apology - I didn't mean to come off like that, sorry (jeez - I'm apologizing more than obama lately). But I'm thinking neither of us wants FR to be an embarrassment, and so I was just trying to justify to myself, but still in your ear, my behavior. I didn't mean to be snotty to you at all; you clearly have the best interests of the site at heart.
Post 16 was a crappy way to defend things - however, the good thing is there was no more attempt as far as I can tell to use this approach after the first try - which is cool.
