Doug:

As both a longtime member of FR and a longtime reader of Capitol Hill Blue, it is easy to see who here knows you and realizes the column wasn't something you would normally write. Those who are quick to jump to conclusions obviously have not read your many columns supporting our causes.

I appreciate you having the guts to stand up and apologize.

I haven't " jumped to conclusions " and have read Capital Hill Blue and Mr. Thompson's columns for many years.

Did you read the column that started all of this ? If not, do so; then get back to us.
