Guys,
Given that I have been at DC only six months, I'll admit up front that this may be out of line. However, I will ask you as gentlemen to refrain from making any sarcastic or insulting remarks regarding this OP.
I do not claim to know Norah well, but, I do know that she is a thoughtful, intelligent person who is a respected member of the community. This is not a message from an internet flamer.
Norah, please accept my apology for any part that I may have played in making you feel slighted. I pray that whatever difficulty that you or your family may be experiencing is resolved and that you may have a peaceful holiday season.
All the best,
Jay
