Leanne, List and other entities,

I sent you an email directly, Leanne, indicating lack of
knowledge as to the derisiveness of the word "Slopehead!"
Apologies are in order.  As they are freely given, it is hoped
that they will be freely accepted.

First, my use of this term was quite innocent, and as a result,
did not refer to any particular person, race or thing.
Therefore the apology I make is for using a word, the meaning of
which I was unaware.  On that basis I am sorry.

If you have been following some of my mail, you should
understand that I harbor no prejudice.  I do not recognize or
appreciate the word, "diversity," as it's use alone, connotes
the existence of difference.  Since I do not recognize
differences among peoples, other than those which are
irrelevant, I abhor prejudice.

I have shrapnel in me that is likely older than you are, so
I should know better.  But I do not.

A friend of mine who listens in but rarely posts called me
within minutes of my asking you what the meaning of the
term was, to bring such a reaction.  He told me.

It is my hope and intent to make your experience on this
or any List to which I belong, more pleasant, not such a
chore as you opined I made it for you.


>I believe an apology to the List is in order... no wonder
>staying on this list is so arduous.

Hopefully you now feel better.   It was good for me, I hope it
was good for you.  (as he reaches for a cigarette).

Jim Mortellaro, crestfallen and in deep despair.  A bottle
of Dr. Gesundt's fresh wine should, however, change all that.
