I just wanted to thank you for the support shown elsewhere.
I really allowed the (4E) firestorm get the best of me, and stepped in my dignity. I appreciate the willingness to say that "eveybody is human and eveybody makes a mistake."
I am sorry Watcher, I only just noticed this thread.
You are welcome, my friend.
I still say your error wasn't as bad as people (including yourself) made it out to be. It just happened at a time when people are overly critical, and overly sensitive. (And I still say for good reason.)
To paraphrase wise words from a movie: "Why do we fall?" "So we can learn to pick ourselves up." And you did both spectacularly. ;-)

Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit. --W. Somerset Maugham
I believe you can substitue error for excess.
Where is my bat. I think I saw that horse move.
