"The Holiest thread on the BB..."

[wolverine]

Al and Joe,

I am utterly lost...I believe you have completely confused me...was this thread serious or just tongue-in-cheek???  
If so (either way) it was very enjoyable!!!

Paul---

The thread started off a bit "tongue in cheek" because I
had told Al he should start a thread with that title. But
Al also wanted to apologize to several people for being a
bit to critical--so his post is quite serious in nature.

I then entered with my own short apology and went off
into a "stand-up routine" of self-deprecating humor. Al
responded in his wry sense of humor--which I unfortunately
took seriously. After a series of E-mails back and forth with
Al I went back and re-read everything and realized I had
made a grave mistake.

I apologized to Al and he forgave me immediately. It taught me once again to "listen before you speak" and how damaging a "knee-jerk" reaction can be. I think we both learned a lot from the whole thing and it brought us both closer to the Lord in the end.
