Pieter Stouten and Colleagues,

I humbly give to you my sincere apology for the three extended virus
commentaries.  I had and have no intention of continuing with it.

With all due respect, it was not solicitation, an advertisement, or spam in
any way.  It was merely meant to inform those who were uninformed.  It is
very painful for me to watch someone or their computer die, when I could
have given them the aid that could have prevented it.  Maybe, I went too far.

For your information, I received both condemnation and praise from several
people, in private e-mails.

Respectfully,
James Harnett
