I believe I've upgraded my website so that I've eliminated the former copyright infringements. If there are more that I missed, please inform me and I'll change them (elk first pointed this out to me).
Also, some have felt that I was guilty of defamation. If that is the case, then I am unwittingly doing that and apologize to any party affected. If I am made specifically aware of a mistake I make, I'll be quick to change it and take the appropriate action.
I've been told, in private, by some of the old timers here, that many of you have been following this company for about five years, or so. They suggested that I was stepping on "their baby" and that I was being too harsh. Maybe I'm not taking into proper consideration the amount of time and effort many have put into this company, and how my postings would recieve particular scorn because of that.
It is hard for me to believe that many are sincere on this board, for whatever reason. I'd rather be a contributing member of this SI community. I'd like to not only contribute facts and opinons, but I'd like to do it more respectfully.
Starting now, I'd like to both apologize for offending many on this board, as evidenced by the 50 name count, and I'd like to pledge that I will make a significant attempt at being more respectful
Does this mean I won't be contributing my opposing views? No. Does this mean I won't make mistakes? No. However, it does mean that I will try not to come off so arrogant, as some have put it.
Again, I apologize for my shortsights, and I ask that we all start concentrating on FTEL again, as all would like. Please bare with me, and I promise to do the same.
