Hi Chris,
I suspect the deafening silence (no response) is indicative that the members of
the list are giving the forgiveness you requested.
The list did receive your fwd apology that was posted by members prior to you
posting this.
Chris, there's no way to unring a bell. I suspect many can relate to the
embarrassment you feel, but the incident is now part of history and
probably looming more heavily in your memory than ours.
Since I can't speak for anyone else on the list, I will say to you that I
empathize with your feelings, and I understand how it happened. I've
not labeled you as .... ummm.... what ever you may be thinking anyone would
think of you now.
I'm trusting that you are the type of person who's wise enough to learn from
experience and not the type destined to repeat mistakes. I also hope you don't
actually bring systems to their knees when the trash folder is so handy.
I ask you to consider that there are more constructive ways to deal with spam.
You might be interested in what CAUCE (www.cauce.org) is doing and how you as a
netizen can contribute.
HTH,
Nikki
