- My mistakes were simply that - mistakes. I misspelled the words.

- Doug Holtsinger is obsessed with following me from group to group,
- flaming each post. I found it particularly amusing that, in this
- case, he tried to make it appear that I had highlighted the
- original mispelling of "bona fide" when I had not. I'll
- probably get another laugh when he misrepresents my words
- as he follows up this article.
-
- (Yes, that last sentence was meant to forestall his follow-up.
- I've found that the only way for me to escape his inane
- follow-ups in groups other than talk.abortion is to mention
- his obsession in the original article. I apologize to the world
- at large for not doing so when I commented here earlier - I
- hate to think how many people got unwanted mail from his
- misc.test line.)
