Thanks very much for the explanation. I appreciate your honesty and candor.
Yes, if this was something off-list, that's a different story. My hackles went up a little only because I thought someone was accusing Steve of "racism" based on his list-posts, which may have been awfully repetitive but haven't been racist. False racial accusations have made this list before, unfortunately, and it was that which I was reacting to. If the comments concerned occured in some other forum, which I haven't read, then I take back my hasty defense.
