I wanted to apologize to the publib world at large for the bizarre message.  It was my intention to continue an rather anxious email conversation I had been carrying on privately, but I accidentally selected the wrong message to reply to!  (it was my reply to all embarrassing moment)  I have been so embarrassed since I realized my mistake, but really appreciate that everyone has been friendly about it.  As for details, lets just say the person I intended the email for was (in my mind) to blame for a sticky situation I found myself in.  I was working on a paper at the library when a rather...unusual...guy joined me at my table.  He was oblivious to all my attempts to discourage him.  I was already anxious about the project I was working on, and he smelled quite strongly of cologne, making my anxiety worse, and, well, he was carrying a football, which I think says enough about the image he hoped to promote.  As I had trouble extricating myself from his company, it was funny to think that I might never get away from him.  I do apologize for the rather unprofessional message, and hope that in the future, I can contribute in a very different manner from this past message.  If I can ever get over my embarrassment and read the digests without blushing, that is!
