Declan, I appreciate your bringing this matter to my attention. My sincere apologies to both you, the cypherpunk community and subscribers. My comments were tongue-in-cheek, a friendly remark regarding Choate's stealth-linkage, and his remarks toward women's undergarments, which I found humorous. My comment in regard to "pointy questions" was an attempt to give any respondents a wide berth in their replies, in recognition of the fact I could be asking the wrong questions, and was receptive of any insight.
It sounds like it may be an alien.
It was also a reference the number of mysterious queries that flow across the list. My reference to Gentlemen was also not meant disrespectfully, but as a subtle query.
Bizarre.
Nevertheless, I came across as abrasive and offended members of this forum. _Ladies_ & Gentlemen, you have my apologies for both my breach of decorum and disrespect. Such was certainly not my intention.
We should kill it before it multiplies. No human being speaks in such a stilted, phony way.
You all have my admiration and respect, which is why I posed my questions to this distinguished group. (I am preparing to debate these issues in a private and hostile forum against experienced opposition. With a few notable exceptions, like Declan, certain viewpoints and experiences are under-represented in traditional source banks.)
"Captain, my source banks indicate abnormal readings. I suggest we disconnect immediately."
Excuse my long-windedness. I am trying to convey my intent and sincerity, and make a public, searchable record of my disrepute, my Declan-bitchslap and my apology; not to make excuses for my inappropriate, and inexcusable behavior.
