I would like to apologize for suggesting that Julie Harding is on crack. The term was an unfortunate choice of metaphors to express my concern that Ms. Harding's posts were incoherent and nonsensical. I have no reason to believe that Ms. Harding is currently or has ever been using crack, any other form of cocaine, or any other drug that was not prescribed by a licensed medical professional. My sincere apologies if my previous e-mail led anyone to think otherwise.
Best, Phil Sandifer

Anyhow, upon me telling Julie she would stay on moderation for a while, she sent me a photo allegedly of herself, told me that she was "pretty and intelligent" and that she was quitting. She also seemed to take offense to me identifying myself as the list administrator in my email to her. I'm not sure what that was all about, but it sure was funny.

Judging from the minor assault upon my in-box, in addition to the...interesting...messages which have managed to arrive on list, I feel reasonable certain that if anyone was under the impression that the inestimable Ms Harding is partaking of any substance, hallucinogenic or otherwise, it would not likely be your email which was the only basis for such a judgement.
HTH to sooth your tortured soul; HAND :-)
