I guess I see your point. And maybe a different choice of words would have been better received. I hope you see where I was coming from too though. It seems like some of the longest strands on this board are over the most petty of things...like this discussion for example. I guess I figured that everyone would respond to something positive more quickly than they do when they are attacking each other or some decision made by CC or whoever. You see where I'm coming from? I guess we all handle our grief in different ways. I worked with Brian, I hung out with Brian. I even had a few conversations with him about the stuff he was dealing with, so I, too, know firsthand how difficult this is. I'm sorry I wasn't with the family last night. I simply thought it would be nice for those who wouldn't be able to be there, to voice their thoughts.
Obviously I was wrong and will be more careful in the future. Apology accepted and apology extended if I stepped on anyones toes.
