Bill, the hierarchy is simply using that apology to patronize you.

Here is another example of how Red red can operate. In a post, this thread, about 322 or so, I gave a little cushion for red's behavior. I also added my receipt for my Bottom Feeders tags.
Then I received a direct email from red saying, in paraphrase, that he did not consider me to be a bottom feeder. Along with the post where he considered me to be the epitome of model aviation, I gathered red was trying to kind of make up for last Fall's massive attack against my candidacy for EVP. I advised him that we had nothing to discuss, however a little more direct than permitted here. [>:]

Well, after my reply, I received another direct attack from mister Red red. It ended with "Adios, you poor pathetic twit! RS."

'Nuff said!
