- I would like to make a public retraction and apology for my recent
- overly harsh postings. These should have been sent directly to the
- recipient and not to the entire net, or better yet toned down a bit
- in the network version. My attitude towards Marc was
- severly hardened by personal correspondence from him sent directly
- to me. It appeared (and still appears) to me that he's decided to
- make a hobby of offering antagonistic critiques of each word I utter
- on the net. Thus finally, I responded with my own analysis of his
- words, done in the same manner of personal attack. Those of you who
- responded to me directly (and negatively) formed your judgement of
- me without all the facts. While I admit that I was wrong in making
- my views about Marc public, and doing so in an overly harsh manner,
- I maintain that the points I made were valid and would welcome any
- discussion or debate on the idea that Xenix is still a very viable
- operating environment.

- Respectfully,
