But you could also say: If this Rooney doesn't want to be associated with this train of thought, something might be wrong. I think it states some true words, but also a few where I think: A bit overboard here!

Well, whoever wrote it, I agree with every word of it. I always tell the people I talk to that have gripes about the word "God" being in the Pledge of Allegiance that if they have so much of a problem with it, then they should give all their dollar bills with that phrase on it to me.

It is called responsibility and integrity (they're in the dictonary ). His apology says a lot more about his character than it would have had he said nothing.

Are you making claims now to being literate AND owning a dictionary?

I agree, I was merely telling him that he shouldn't beat himself up because he made a mistake. The apology is acknowledged and accepted, but no one here is going to yell at him because he made the mistake...Im not going to jump on his back just because he slipped up.Would you have demanded an apology if he hadn't made one?

Thanks, PJ. I appreciate your sentiments. I wish that the younger members commenting here could recognize that.

Ouch tomtom...I realize that it does show alot about your character. I was just saying that it's not like we are going to beat you up for making a mistake...I'm sure we wouldn't even be having this conversation if we hadn't found the error....
