I'm saddened to hear that too. Since no one has come forward admitting
to the jackass statement perhaps the PDML should send an e-mail
apologizing for that statement and assuring that it is not the sentiment
of the majority of the list members.

It is far from clear that a PDML member was responsible for writing that.
When pressed, Aaron became a little vague and rather defensive.

I remember Aaron from my early days on the list and as such I have no doubt
to his sincerity about the jackass statement. I can also understand a
reluctance to name names given the litigious world we live in. Whether it is
a current or former member is a valid question, as we have had a few loose
cannons amongst us from time to time. My point is that the good name of the
PDML has been hurt by this incident, whether caused by a current or former
member or someone else. While there seems to be a widely varying opinion of
the original request it appears that much, if not most, of the list does not
approve of the jackass statement. I am a firm believer in when wrong,
promptly admitting it, and making amends whenever possible. Hence, my
suggestion for the e-mail assuring him that this was not the sentiment of
the vast majority of the list members. Am I the only one who thinks an
apology is in order?
