Re: Fw: BOUNCE hosta-open@mallorn.com: Non-member submission from [RonnieEA@aol.com]

Joanne,

I am glad that you sent Ronnie's apology to the list -- it puts the situation in
perspective for me and I hope for others.  His pain and embarrassment are so
very evident.  Please note that the message was sent at 1 AM --  I am sure he
would not have sent the same message in the afternoon.  His heartfelt message
brings tears to my eyes.  I think we all have done dumb, impulsive things for
which we were later sorry.  I am sure the members of this list are understanding
and not rigidly judgmental.
