Don't apologize, Chris.  And don't feel any shame about heaping scorn on ol'
Ronnie Raygun, 'cause he couldn't remember he was President when he WAS the
Prez.

Someone sent me an off-grouper. I've really upset someone, and here's the
apology.

If I were a yank, I would be a democrat, and a pretty radical one at that,
but in view of the illness that he suffers from, I would not (as a human
being) like people to think that I wanted to pour scorn on former president
Ronald Reagan, (as he is now) and hope that nobody else took it that way.

Politically, I am diagonally-opposite to/from him, but there is a limit to
what you can feel hatred for.  Especially as he can no longer remember even
having ever been the president.

In the same way, during her 'reign' (and as a directly-targetted 'victim' of
her policies), I would actually have welcomed any misfortune - terminal or
otherwise - that befell our former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, but she
is now a sad, bereaved, rather muddled and fragile old lady, and you can
only carry things so far.

Once again, sorry if I upset anybody with the careless use of my rather
'black' sense of humour.
