Blair,
Could we unburden the list by discussing this between us?
You're not the only one I'm discussing it with, so it'll stay on the
list until all those expressing false interpretations of the incident
have their misapprehensions explained to them.
I'd rather it went away, but that will require people to stop thinking I
violated the 3RR.
