Jim and List, I had meant this as good-natured ribbing to someone who I've agreed with at times and disagreed with at other times, but always with at least my understanding that it was intellectual sparring and never an attempt to malign him. My intent was never to overpersonalize or in any way be a serious insult to Jim. Jim, I sincerely apologize to you personally for my indiscretion and hope you will take it in the spirit it was meant. If you want to discuss it further, please feel free to email me offlist or give me a call. I will refrain in the future from overpersonalization. My apologies as well to anyone on the list that was offended or caused undue stress by my posting.
