Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

You know, I read that and now I regret responding to Kat's post at all.  In 
fact, I think I misread what she had written completely.  When a post starts 
out with my name on it I usually start thinking, "Oh, crap, here it comes."  
And, quite often, I respond incorrectly.  If my post to Kat had anything to 
do with some whacko coming out of the woodworks like this it kind of sickens 
me.  This is one of the reasons why, in my old age, I'm starting to prefer 
the company of horse to human.  Horses are never cruel like this to any 
creature, even humans.

Anyway, I think I crossed the line with Kat so I'm gonna openly say to her, 
"Kat, I'm sorry for my post.  I think you're the greatest endurance rider 
(next to my gal, Val) around and I have nothing but respect for you as a 
rider, a writer, and as Spock (from Star TRek), reincarnated, in the female 
form.  You're the best and I was out of line."

cya,
Howard
