Greg,

I apologize for provoking you by quoting you in a manner which you did not 
appreciate, re: the below post (cited in full). It was not my intent to 
misrepresent you or to cause confusion, and i'm sorry that such was the 
apparent result. I personally don't *feel* like you understand my argument in 
full yet, based on the nature of the feedback i've received (which is why i 
made the comment), but my personal feelings are irrelevant. 

Thanks,
Dan Wagner
