It contained a request to desist from off-topic posts. (And I apologize for this post, but felt I had to set the record straight.) After that simple and polite request, I said I was removing my moderator hat, and the rest of the message was personal, just from me to him. I took issue with some of the statements he had made, and requested some further information. If he felt I was harsh, I did not intend to be at all. But that was strictly between him and me. It was a PERSONAL communication, that was absolutely clear. There is no reason at all for him to withdraw. My moderator duties do not prohibit me from emailing someone on a personal basis. I apologized to him because I wrote something in a way that could have been misunderstood. But nothing harsh or underhanded was intended. Sometimes we all have strong opinions, and we express them sometimes well or sometimes poorly. Maybe I expressed them poorly. But this was a personal message, had NOTHING to do with CCC, and he has no reason to withdraw. He makes very valuable contributions, and we would all miss his presence. Will Singleton
