John has my profound apology. The above was meant to be private. I had not
noticed it was a list mailing. I thought he had emailed me directly. I in no way
meant to share personal information, once intrusted to me, so freely on the
Extropian list. I don't mind the information about me to be out there but I had
no right to involve the list with personal matters regarding John. I assure you
it was a gross mistake made from carlessness alone and certainly was not
intended. That hardly lessens the consequence though. I'm so very sorry John.
