Anna... I appreciate your respectful submission. Thank you.

It was my original idea to let all go their way, thinking people had just moved on, putting this behind them, and chalk this up to a personal foopah. It has been suggested to me, however, that maybe things will not settle appropriately without my putting something forth.

It's a little late "to begin with", but I would like to apologize. I did not intend to introduce disharmony with my post. I was simply responding to Faldage with the only monopole I could come up with for what I took as a good natured challenge .

I am most certainly aware of our multi-cultural environment, and am in absolutely no way, shape or form trying to introduce, or propagate, any specific religious belief system. It was through my lack of forethought that failed to take into consideration that someone might actually take it that way, as has been suggested to me. Please believe that it was never intended as such. I simply saw it through good-natured-fun glasses.

Again, I apologize for causing such a stir.
