Jeff,

I apologize if I have offended you.  My writing reflects
my views and opinions only, and not those of this list or
development community.

There was absolutely no offense taken on my part.  I also 
don't even know Doug, and I assure you that I am not speaking 
for him.

I won't comment on your posts in the future.

Chris
