I would like to apologize for this debate getting as far as it did, and as
away from it's point as it has come. I would however like to say a few
things, in respect to the email response that Mr. Rutledge has sent to the
list. I clearly stated that any responses of a personal nature should be
directed to me personally. so as not to clog the list. I would classify
his email as one of a personal nature, and i'm astounded that despite his
apparent thourough reading of my email, he seems to have missed that part,
or parts, for what reason, i will not here speculate. He will recieve a
personal reply to his email, which i greatly appreciate. for all others, i
would like to say that although his email was a personal attack on me, i
do not take offense to it, as i do have an open mind, contrary to what he
submits, and i appreciate a view different than mine without needlessly
taking offense to it and resorting to name calling and personal attacks. I
genuinely appreciate this differing view, and others like it, and i
welcome more of them. However, Please, again i beg you, if you have
personal issue with me or my comments, and do not feel the need to
belittle others because you disagree with them, email me personally and
save everyone else who does not want to hear what perhaps either of us
wants to say, and email me personally. To all those whose time has been
wasted on fruitless or uninteresting emails (including my own) i
apologize, my intent was only to take the discussion further, and to bring
a new viewpoint, in hopes of enriching the discussion.

Here is my email address again to prevent further clogging of these
message boards:



My apologies,

Justin Diaz
