Yes, er, um, well....  what can I say?  "Sorry" sums it up.

Couple of weeks back I posted some idiotic remarks for no apparent reason that I can think of.  I can't plead the excuse of being drunk as that's been my normal state for many years and never caused me to post idiotic remarks anywhere else.

However, I am pleased to announce the birth (late, and after a few slight complications) last week of our baby daughter, a chubby 8 jin, healthy and well.  Mama is also well and has resumed nagging at top volume, as is her wont.

My particular apologies to Doctors Beck and Stone for my cretinous comments.

Wow, you have a daughter now? Really? Ah yes, I seem to remember a funny post about your wife being pregnant. So, congratulations. Look forward to hearing more about your baby. Your wife stories were funny. I still remember something about "stupid smoking drinking man." That was a minor posting classic in my humble book.

Also sorry I missed your cretinous post. Might make me feel better about my occasional crossing of boundaries.

Good luck with your new, expanded family.  th_ag

Thanks.  I am now living with the wonderful prospect of being bossed around by two Chinese daughters and a Chinese wife.  I guess I'll just have to drink more   th_bj

They are all asleep now so I'm going to get some zzzzzzz s myself.

By the way, I still have no idea what that icon means but I like it!

Paul,
first of all, mazel tov on the new baby. I hope all are healthy and happy...and some photos when you're ready would turn us all mushy. th_ak

But mostly...I really appreciate your taking the trouble and showing the concern to apologize. But let me assure you...ya didn't really has ta do it.
The posts weren't really bad at all; at most maybe a bit cranky. I was more concerned about you than anything else. They are, as you can see here, totally forgotten by now.

And, trust me on this one...if every bone-head post one of us made while stressed or in a bad mood or having "one of those days" or just being a jerk yielded a follow-up apology, no one would be able to hack their way through to the actual real posts anymore. We'd have to buy much bigger server capacity just to handle the apologies. Personally, I'd have to give up sleeping just to get my own apologies up here... th_bi

Your apology definitely distinguished you by virtue of sheer class. Otherwise, the slightly misguided posts simply marked you as human.

And best of all, it marked you as One Of Us. th_ak th_ag

Now stop worrying, enjoy that baby, and keep the posts comin'. th_bf
