I am very sorry.

I am very sorry to all I have offended.

I am sorry for bad mouthing jointed rail.

I was totally out of line.

I know it is not an excuse but the last few months (even years) have taken a great toll on me.

If I may relate a story:

As a retired Air Force person, my pension is not subject to NC state tax. I have never in my life filed a state tax return.

That mistake recently caught up with me and I'm now totally broke. No income for a least a few more months.

I'm trying to get ahead of my past mistakes.

My savings and checking account balances are at 0 and will be that way for a while.

The other day I was down to 7 dollars, all utilities are due to be cut off any day now. The rent is way behind.

I was on the verge of homelessness.

Luckily, my mother will put up with me until I get my act back together again.

I know it is not an excuse for me being an arse.

Please forgive me.

I will try my best in the future to regain any respect you all may have had for me.

I do now understand that only after you hit rock bottom can you climb back out.

Again, I know I have no excuse for my behavior.

I can only hope for forgiveness, if I can earn it.

While I am sure I speak for a few people when I say it is good that you recognized your mistake and are apologizing for it, I feel I should close this thread before it goes south. Sometimes, posting things with good intentions doesn't always go where you would like. Anyone who wishes to read this apology may still do so, they just won't be able to post.

Kris.
