I did not mean it to be condescending or offensive to anyone. I try to treat everyone with
respect and kindness. I do apologize if anyone was offended, it was unintentional.
I had no expectation that my private correspondence would be published, since copying
text from private correspondence and posting it on public sites can be the basis for a
lawsuit.
My private e-mail to Paul was supposed to be funny, that is wry wit or dry humor. Very
hard to get through in text where you can't see my tongue in my cheek. I have to be more
careful and use more emoticons. But I would have thought that naming something a "#3
Standard Wogglebug" would be a clue that humor and engineering coexist happily at
Wiard.
The quote about 1 million a year is from an accountant who did not want to even talk with
me because Wiard is much too small.
And really, "bringing Wogglebugs to the disadvantaged" is just so ridiculous, how can
anyone not laugh at that. Those who are actually disadvantaged need food and shelter.
The last thing they need is a Wogglebug, which you can't eat or even burn as fuel.
I hope I cleared up any confusion. Happy Woggling!
