I apologise for the offence that I have given. I am British, not American, and the tone of European converse is far too abrupt and confrontational for an American-dominated forum. I was rebuked by moderators twice that day alone for comments which I had thought were reasonable and proportionate. I was wrong. My comments were inappropriate. I regret them and apologise for them. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR)
