Dear Mr. Blick,
     I think you have behaved in a very civilised and courageous manner. It
takes lots of guts to admit one's mistakes and then to apologize publicly
like you've done. If the offended party doesn't accept the apology, then
that's their choice. We all make mistakes, nobody is perfect. You have
contributed a lot to this list and in so doing you have helped lots of
people. Personally I would like to see you stay in the list, and I think I
speak for many others.
