Thanks for letting me know, I hadn't. But I'd read his earlier post, and seeing him apologize there made me think it might not take much encouragement for him to apologize here. But of course there's a difference between Deneb and me.

I did, but clearly I misjudged. It's because I don't know what's been going on behind the scenes that I said *posting* energy:

Would you be willing to say what other reasons? And what you feel is unseemly? Or would that be even more unseemly?

You could do something different. My broken record: instead of trying to change me, try to keep Jade and Verne from being blocked.
