Please accept my sincere apologies for disturbing your "wa", Bob (and
anyone else who had Algis killfiled and had their "wa" disturbed by my
forwarded post). But let's get this in perspective - this was just one
post of a great many that Algis had written, and was forwarded *at his
request* solely so that Jason would see all of it - which he did, and
replied to it, so it worked, didn't it? I repeat, it seemed a
reasonable request to me under the circumstances, and I wouldn't
hesitate to do the same again. Maybe you should killfile me too to
prevent further "wa" disruption? Or maybe Jason could unkillfile Algis
and reply to him directly, in the interests of your (and everybody
else's) "wa".
