Paul, you are missing the point. You crossed the line. So what? Admit it
and go on. You have much to offer--why screw it all up? Maybe I am screwing
up now by saying this and if DJ balls me out, I'll thank him and go on and
try to do it right.

Everybody ______ up once in a while. So what? Can't you make a mistake? Do
the right thing.

Sincerely and with high regards for your expertise,

Ralph
