I just want to take this opportunity to "publically" apologize to Charlie who sent me the incredible music cd's and who I have broken an unwritten rule about screwing up and sending a cartoon without making sure everyone was completely Bcc. in the address header portion of the e-mail. After his rant at me (justified of course) and his accusations that I'd betrayed a trust (that was a hurt, I'd NEVER do that deliberately, and even at 56, I still make mistakes) I've done as he's requested of me. I've deleted his address from my computer. I've sent all his replies to the trash and emptied it from my computer, ran a virus scan that came up squeeky clean, and found the cd's he sent me and mailed them back to him and crossed out his address in my garden friends part of my snail mail garden book. I can't do any better unless I just stop communicating altogether, and I like too many of the gardeners here to just stop. But I can just get e-mails and stuff sent innocently from long time gardening friends I've known now for 14 years and trust them still and just not share anymore. Keep them to myself, and only send JPG's that have been resized and only gardening updates and only post from here or Garden Web in the future..
It was a hurt for me to think he was so angry at me for something I didnt' deliberately do, especially when I was so careful to make sure what I sent was Bcc........so I just won't do it anymore. period. and I've probably pissed him off by responding back that I'd do all that he asked and he didn't want me to respond. but I am too caring and considerate in the first place. And if he deleted my efforts to do what he asked and apologize, then he might see it here, instead. where he can lurk and ignore me completely as he's entitled to do. I feel bad enough as it is. But I will get over it. His kindness to send me that music was something that I appreciated when my life was falling apart and I was losing everything around me. I never took that kindness for granted. Not with how I revere music. (as well as my gardening, it's been my salvation and muse, which is another reason James and I are cut from the same cloth!)
