There is no harm done, it was an honest mistake.

And if everyone who ever “messed up” on here stopped participating, it would become very quiet.

“Vewwy  vewwy quiet”, as Elmer Fudd would say.

The choice to participate here or not is up to you; but IMHO it should not end because you had a moment of confusion.

Mahalo,

In my excitement about discovering this wonderful world of Newtons, I found many websites to include PDA-Soft.de <http://pda-soft.de/> and Newtonsales.com <http://newtonsales.com/>.  Reference my last email to this list, I don’t know why I thought that Frank was associated with Newtonsales and therefore I apologize to Frank. I hope my ignorance hasn’t caused any lingering damage.
