X-Message-Number: 21929 Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2003 18:14:32 +0900 (JST) From: "Matthew S. Malek" <> Subject: Apology for tone Greetings! Just a quick note to apologize for the tone of two messages that I sent yesterday. I was rather stressed by some things (that have nothing to do with CryoNet, or even online life in general) and so I came across as more snippish than intended. Note that I stand by the basic content of these messages. For instance, I still reject Rafal's proposition that I must give away all that I own or else I am an envious hypocrite for saying that I care about the issue of global poverty. However, I am apologizing because I believe that the content of the messages could have been expressed more diplomatically. Thanks, and long life...
