Al,
As I was one of the first to admonish you, let me be one of the last to accept your apology. You did more then apologize, your words were well chosen and sincere. Always remember that life is a never ending process of learning. Things we did 10 yrs ago now seem foolish and the things we do today will seem foolish 10 yrs from now. The trick is to do fewer things to regret as time goes by. You have grown tremendously in the past 24 hrs.
