BHT, I am sorry. Please accept my sincerest apologies for disrespecting you and for not having represented myself and my thoughts better. I am grateful to have been allowed into your house. I am sorry I shit on your floor. I would never just say "so what" about something like that and would be grateful for the opportunity to clean that shit up and buy you a beer (figuratively) for having been such a jackass in your home, among your brothers, as a guest.
I apologize to you, and your brothers.

My comments really were intended to be much more light-hearted than they came across. That is very hard to convey via text format--a reason I prefer person to person communication when at all possible. That last comment was meant to show that I agree that I wrote too much. I know I am verbose. I should have kept my points and my questions much more terse and to the point.
I do not have a high opinion of myself. Especially in comparison to others. I was in no way intending to challenge your level of education, though I know I did so. I would never, based on my writing, ever think highly enough of myself to think that I am arrogant. I am truly sorry that I came across that way.
I apologize, sincerely, for coming across as abusive. Confrontational, yes (only with the eye roll). Abuse--actual or perceived--was in no way intended. I would like to respectfully ask--whether I am a member here or not--that you please go back and re-read my post through the lens of me *not* taking myself too seriously or thinking less of others, and me actually being more conversational. It is important to me that you understand I was not meaning to disrespect you. I am sorry I took for granted that certain obvious core elements of my personality can never be conveyed textually without using several of those damned smilies. Which I tend to try to refrain from.
The Reaper (and Team Sergeant), I understand I have crossed a line. I understand you have ROEs here that I have breached through perceived disrespect and irresponsible posting. I accept responsibility for what I have done. I appreciate your time and all of the information I have gotten from this site. It has been vastly educational and has allowed me a greater level of understanding.
LW, I completely agree that we [BHT and I] agree on most of our points. I also apologize to you and the other QPs in this forum, my lack of responsibility in choosing the wording of my textual reply to match my much more jovial attitude about this exchange is inexcusable.
My intent was to have been conversational. I would never, under any circumstances think that I know more than the Professionals on this board, or assume that I have anything very relevant to add. I respectfully enter the door to this site almost daily. I have nothing but great respect for anyone who adds to this site. I have not [added to this site].
ALCON: I'm a jackass. I'm sorry.
Sincerely,
mbs
