SC - Apology To Ras and Elysant

[Tollhase1 at aol.com]

To fellow cooks list and Craig Frig group,

It has been brought to my attention that my jokes about marriage have caused 
great pain to friends that I cherish.  My humor is never meant to cause pain. 
 I have spoken with Elysant privately concerning this issue and hope that I 
have cleared the air.

I have been married myself for almost 14 years and appreciate the effort and 
commitment that marriage is for two people.  I had privately told Ras how 
happy I was for him and Elysant.  Unfortunately my quips did not express this 
to the list.  

Never in my wildest imaginings, would I have ever expected anyone to take the 
my jokes as anything but what they were meant to be.  Good nature kidding 
amongst friends that you trust.  The thought of purposely causing people pain 
is repugnant to me.

I ask of the list that if you feel something I post is out of line, please 
let me know soon afterwards to hopefully avoid hurt feelings.

Again I apologize. 

Frederich
