I acknowledge Nat Selleck's apology with regard to my "tyranny." As for dear Stacy Schiff, I have apologized to her. I am sorry she got unfairly nicked, allthough she does know I don't fully agree with all she says. I certainly would not want that to imperil a friendship of long standing. With regard to Melnikov, if Nat reads my explanatory post of 22/7, perhaps he will understand my tone.
