Re: (erielack) Apology

To all listers:

I have been very busy out on the railroad, and have not had time to reply, 
but now I will. 

First of all, what was sent to the list was a mistake, and some of you can't 
seem to comprehend that. For some of you, please reconcile your unforgiving, 
nose in the air attitude next time you are in church.  The Lord's prayer 
contains, "We forgive those who trespass against us." Quit apparent that some on the 
list have never, ever made an error in their lives, and are unable to accept 
the apology that was made, and move on. As far as I know, their was only one 
perfect person, and he was crucified some 2,000 years ago. 

Second, I challenge anyone to work the schedule that I do, day and night, 
week to week, and be absolutely perfect all of the time. Please let me know if 
you would like to do this, or if you can handle it, and I am certain I can get 
you on.  You can join us 24/7, 365 days a year. Then maintain the absolute 
focus that is necessary for railroad operations, plus find time to handle anything 
else you have going, while trying to keep you eyelids open.  Many, many times 
I am up over two to three nites, with not a lot of sleep.  Because of this, I 
am sometimes not always "firing on all 8 cylinders." 

When that was accidently sent to the list, I was having a cuppa java, talking 
on the phone with a fellow engineer about air brake problems with the EPIC 
system, and by mistake added the list address. 

I will not be departing the list, and I hope this is the final word on the 
subject. 

Anyone with any more to say, or additional criticisms, please contact me off 
list, or over the telephone. 

Regards,

JJBoehner
