[Leica] Apologies to innocent bystanders

[reid at mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (Brian Reid)]

It never fails.

This week I went in the hospital for major surgery on my left ankle. I got 
home about 2 hours ago. I had asked Sonny to remind you to behave if in my 
absence you forgot to (he's one of half a dozen people on the list that I 
can ALWAYS count on to be polite without being meek). And of course, as soon 
as I went under the knife, other knives came out. It always seems to happen 
that way.

I'm going to be relatively immobile for the next 6 weeks until I can walk 
again, so I'll have plenty of time to admonish those of you who get out of 
line.

But the best way to deal with real or imagined insults in an online forum is 
to pretend you didn't hear them. That trick always works.
