My email was an attempt to bring us back to that topic and diffuse what I, at
least in my head, had expected to turn into a situation that I felt
uncomfortable with, and that I felt others on the list (men and women both)
would.

This is a discussion I would be glad to have.  Just not the way it looked like
it was going to happen.

Again, I'm really sorry if I offended anyone.  I was genuinely trying to make
sure that we didn't have a situation crop up that I thought would really make
everyone uncomfortable.  Instead I seem to have just buggered things up more.

Thank you,
Derric Atzrott
