Dear Ms Singer, and list readers I inadvertently posted a private comment about you to the entire list. It was thoughtless, tactless, and rude. I am very sorry to have done it. While we disagree about Peter Singer, I do not bear you any personal animosity. I also realize that I have misapprehended the "new Judith's" last name -- it's "Irving" not "Singer." Clearly, my cognitive impairments are interfering with appropriate list behavior, and I will withdraw for a time. -- Jesse the K -- Madison Wisc USA -- <mailto:[log in to unmask]> 5 out of 4 Americans have problems with fractions. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
