I can see that everyone is not going to be able to forgive me for my past transgressions. I am sorry for what I did and I as for forgiveness from the list members. Really I am sorry. Please forgive me. I had issues to deal with and new I am trying to make amends with the Orb List. That is all that I can do. You can ignore my email and make them go straight to the trash or not. I have cleaned up my side of the street or so they say.
All IMO: There is nothing to "forgive". We're not a church; shit happens, and hopefully we all learn from it. Since Lazlo isn't actively moderating the list, we're self-policing. When any of us (including me) crosses the line, hopefully someone says something or defuses the situation. (I've gotten a few emails over the years asking me to chill out at various times, and have generally benefited from taking them to heart.) That said, my last email should also have been sent privately; my mistake and I apologize, both to you and the list. All I'm asking you to do is exercise a bit of thought. If you send an email asking someone to email you off list, it should be sent off-list in the first place; it is pointless to send it to everyone; it is meaningless to most and actively annoying to some.
