To everyone on the list and especially to Andrew...
I am very sincerely sorry

I consider a spammer someone who solicites (sorry for the spelling)
something off topic to the reader. I just thought that someone interested
in Shadowrun would like to see more of Shadowrun. I only wished to be
nice. Yes, I will admit my response was immature, but I let my temper and
attitude get the best of me and I went off. But I am trying to make up for
that and be a better person. I was having kind of a bad day, and saying
"screw you" was not what I needed. If all Andrew would of said was no
thank you I would have never written to him again, but my action was
unexcusable and I owe you an apology Andrew...Again i am sorry. If you
would forgive me you would be a greater man than I.

Thank you,
Patrick
