<DIV><FONT size=2>I wish to apologize for putting the poem, "Twas the
Night Before Christmas" on the Elfsea Web. It was not my purpose to break
any rules. It was something that touched me very deeply and I wished to
share it with my SCA family and friends. It was the first time I had ever
seen this. So if I have offended anyone or the dream I do apologize.
I especially wish to apologize to His Excellency Sir Galen, ListAdmin, (
mka Paul T. Mitchell, SSgt, USAF). I didn't know we had rules against
articles regarding these issues. I will do my best not to put anything on
the net like this again.</FONT></DIV>
