I am truly sorry my ill chosen words have caused so much offence, particularly to someone I have always respected and liked. And I deeply regret the damage that has been done.
I wanted to get across three points: Terry has always made lively and engaging posts on this forum, the old photographs one is typical. He has sometimes been attacked for his forthrightness, but not by me. And I have missed the number and content of his posts here recently, assuming (however wrongly) he finds the alternative forums more welcoming. And to cap it all, it is me who has upset him.
I have apologised in public, because he deserves no less. I will ask Dimitris to delete the post I made, so it doesn't remain to be read by others in the future.
I hope we can put this behind us and move on.
Phil
