Ray, Scott and the other SI-listers,
I agree completely with both of you regarding your posting policy and about
Tom's post below. It was unacceptable, it doesn't represent ASA, and ask
that everyone affected will accept our sincere apology. I'm confident it
won't occur again.
Sincerely,
Mike Williams
