To any and all,
    Oops my mistake, I am sorry if I offended anyone (Mr. Silverman in 
particular), and will be more careful in the future when quoting emails.  As 
for the rest of my post I did not feel it was particularly inflammatory, and 
I'm sorry if you, or anyone, took it that way but the sentiment remains.
  Once again, my apologies.
