I will not comment on the circumstances that caused Chris to write this
message.  However, he inserted the following quotation:

     "The secret of Fandom is love. Most of its greatest works have been
     produced during periods of loving harmony, and it is always these
     that we remember most fondly. Yet such harmony is fragile and
     easily destroyed. To be a cynic and a wrecker is easy and requires
     little talent. It's something that those who have any feeling at
     all for Fandom should seek at all costs to avoid becoming." ("The
     Reaffirmation", by Rob Hansen, 1994)

I could not agree more with the content of this quote.  Taking it out
of context of Chris' apology to "DDFA", I think it is a sentiment that
should be borne in mind at all times by members of this list.

I know I try to... and will continue to do so.
