- Mr. Nhan Ngueyn,
- please accept my humblest apologies for this terrible harm I have
- caused you. I really did not mean to make a stricke against your
- credibility or your mental competence. I simply typed a period
- by mistake, instead of the question mark that I should have used.
- I am glad that you did not take offense against my misspelling of
- last. I am afraid that in my haste to post, I often do not check
- all of my spelling and punctuation. Probably because I could care
- less.
-
- By the time you read this I will be dead. I am going to go out
- and lie down on the railroad tracks because I am so overcome
- with remorse.
-
- take care.
