      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?
