Did I say I apologized?  I think not.  I did do anything to apologize for.

Try again.

You took my private message to you public.  I did not.  You recounted 
that an employer had found you to be unreliable.  I agreed  with that 
assessment in private and you chose to repeat it in public.


Read it again.


I very carefully said that you have quite obvious skills and abilities. 
  I also said, based on your own account, that I would not be able to 
rely on you not walking away when thing get tough.


Now... I'm not going to unsubscribe from this list... too much to be 
learned here.  I'm not going to consign you to my junk list... too much 
to be learned from YOU.


But Rick, you have a LOT to learn yourself.  You're very good, but 
everyone has room to improve.
