Natick MA, 01760 Lines: 26 Keywords: wimper cringe sorry Xref: linus news.config:217 news.admin:589 soc.singles:10430 I just want to publicly thank David for swallowing his pride, and posting the heavy duty apology that he did. It took a lot of guts to open himself up, and take the responsibility for the problem that happened here. I would like to take back my suggestion about burning him at the stake. (Sorry, Melanie). I know that this was not an easy thing for David to do. David is a very good programmer, and to come out and accept responsibility was a very brave thing to do. I'm very proud of you, David. It would have been very easy for David to remain silent, and just not posted for a while, but he didn't. A question to the rest of us: If this happened to you, would you own up to it. I think that I would have a great deal of trouble with telling everyone that I wrote a problem that had a bug in it that sent 1.3 meg to soc.singles. I think I would ungracefully type "U" the next time I rn'ed, and stay away for a while. What about you? -- **************************************************************************** | "You may say I'm a dreamer, Laurie | | but I'm not the only one."
