Don,

I have coped this email to the Oracle-L list.
You will note, however that I have not included
your original Subject Heading, nor the content.
Similarly, I did not copy your previous post
to the list, only the points that where relevant
to the rest of my note to the list.

You complained that your previous email was
private (despite being copied to 2 other people),
however the purpose of your email was to point
out that I had publicly made comments that could
be detrimental to DBAZine.

Since the original comments were made in Oracle-L, 
any retraction should clearly be in the same forum.


You complained that I chose to make my apology
where you would only find out about it second
hand.  
    First:  I wasn't apologising to you, I was offering
    an apology to DBAZine.

    Second: you certainly appeared to be a subscriber
    to the list, so you cannot claim to have got this
    note second.


Members of the list:

    This note is copied to the list as a matter of
    record because Don's complaints were about
    material that appeared on this list; and the apology
    that it prompted was presented to this list.

    You may be tempted to respond to this note with
    opinions regarding moral behaviour.  Please do not
    do so (at least, not on my behalf) as I would not want
    Don to think that this note is intended to produce
    a quick bit of cheap rabble-rousing.

    Thank you


Regards

Jonathan Lewis
