Of course.
I do ask that in the future you first *ask first* before bringing in
other nonsubscribers to comment on a post of someone who was merely asked
for their opinion about some topic. (I wouldn't have been so upset if a
rip roaring discussion/debate was already underway. It was the tendency
to *stir up* a debate by doing this without asking that got to me.)
I should mention here (after doing some more reflecting on my weak
memory) that it is possible that I may have falsely accused Bill of
making this sort of thing a "habit". It is possible that the other
instances I remember of this sort of thing happening to others were
perpetrated by someone other than Bill (as the initials A. R. seems to
come to mind here). So Bill, I, too, apologize if it is not, in fact, a
"habit" with you for saying so.
