- Jim, I apologized to you in private even before I saw this, but let me
- go public now. When I made my original comment, my mind was exclusively
- on the temporal (= pertaining to time) dimension of how late you would

- and Tiller which I cannot begin to fathom. My apologies to you and anyone
- I might have misled by my remark.
