well, wait...I can see it is possible for Dr. Bob to feel accused or put down by use of the phrase:
"empty apologies." I can see that. If my apologies were described that way, I might feel hurt. But maybe he could just say so, to Pat, and ask for a rephrase? Or maybe that's not even the phrase? Or the reason behind the pound comment? Dr. Bob lets an awful lot "go" when it's written about him personally, in the interst of allowing posters to vent and to communicate with him - or something like that (I'm expressiong that rationale very badly) So when it may be about him, I just observe, as I have not really known or understood where he draws his boundaries.
I'm a pretty big proponent of plain language. I am fairly easily confused. I dunno. Maybe he will return to explain.
