Apology to the ATM List

["Mike Marchand" <marchanm@kent.net>]

 Ladies and Gentlemen,

 I feel at this time, with much prodding from Richard Schwartz and. 
David B. Toth, that I have undoubtedly made a stir wrt skypublishing.

 I offer my apology to anyone offended by my comments.

 I will respect the list owners wishes and not participate in such 
topics (while participating on the list). If anyone wishes to reach 
me for further discussion, please send e-mail privately to me, unless 
, of course, you really want to make me chuckle, you could 
post the following to the list:

That is not to say that we should not remain vigilant, but we must not
look like a bunch of nut-cakes either, and start shouting about
conspiracy theories. I actually know several of the Sky and Tel
editors, and from what I can see, they eat, breathe, and sleep this
whole hobby ...

BTW Mike, are you on the RASC list ...

I think there was a Mike Marchand that unsubscribed from that list
because of a mail-system failure on the system at the Royal Ontario
Museum ... I thought with your e-mail address that you might be in
Kent County in southern Ontario.

 Hey! That museum exhibit of my dirty socks closed back in '62!
     But thanks for remembering! I had no idea you were a fan!

 Seriously, I distinctly recall saying finger salute, not finger 
server, but whats' done is done.

 This sort of  tactic suggests to me that if I hadn't opened 
my big mouth first, then other members wouldn't feel a need to
"even the score". This sort of activity could easily open a can of 
worms (or is that catfood?) which the list doesn't need...

Yes, I dished it out, I'm willing to take it too...!
Sorry for the waste of bandwidth.
