Mike,

Normally I would respond with a private response, but with respect to what you have said here, I would like to make this public.

I would sincerely like to apologize you if I have offended you. I admit to being ignorant of " <font color="orange">this post </font>" and am about to go read it right now.

Quite honestly, I made my post without thinking things through. It struck me as odd, and somewhat unfair that you made a post that you yourself labeled as O/T a couple weeks after locking mine (which was labeled as O/T as well). My post was important to me, as I'm sure yours was to you.

That being said, I did not take a moment to think about the best way to voice my displeasure with this, and all I can say is that I made a mistake for which I would like to apologize. I certainly did not consider that I was violating a trust you had placed in me, when you sent me a PM, and that to me is far more serious than any quibble I may have about our O/T posts. I apologize for this and would just like to say that I have no intention of allowing something like that to happen again.

Edit/MH: Thank you for the apology. Accepted.

Although, with respect, I don't think your cross-post was labelled Off Topic, or, as I stated in my PM, I would have locked it, not deleted it.
