Hi,

Even translated I am not sure what it says.  But my name is in it, so I assume I am being reprimanded for some of my many transgressions.

I do admit I got my comments in late.  I had approached the task once after as it was announced, but mistakenly thought I had to be able to log in, tried and failed.  I commented on that on the list, was corrected, but then just did not get back to the task until the discussion with Parminder about where someone should comment came up and reminded me.  Given the wonderful capability the web tool offered of commenting per paragraph, I chose to use that method for commenting.

When Norbert informed me I was late, I apologized for my lateness and even indicated that my comments could be ignored if that was the right thing to do because of my tardiness.  And when Norbert was gracious enough to take them in but put a message that seemed to ask for contributed language, I did my best to comply.  Since it was I who was late in commenting I willingly spent most of a day going back and forth with language suggestions and changes.  I certainly did not think I did this transgressively.  In any case that was never my intention, even if I did react sharply to a couple of the slings and arrows tossed my way.  I know this is a "tough crowd," i expect to have things thrown at me, and I expect I will react sharply when that happens.

I certainly NEVER expect people, especially the participants in IGC, to act like sheep.  And while the co-coordinators have not called for a vote on this contribution, though they could have, I don't generally think of voting as a sheepish thing to do.

In any case thanks to Norbert and the rest of you for considering my efforts as part of completing this exercise.  I will ttry to be more timely with my efforts in the future.  Then again since I have a nasty habit of overextending myself with various volunteers efforts, I know that I will fail again and again.  But I try not to.
