Let me try an analogy here.  You walk in to a restaurant carrying an Uzi 
and a hand grenade and threaten to blow everyone in the joint to Kingdom 
Come if you don't get precisely the sort of service you want right away.
Rather than deal with bozos like you, the restaurant shuts its doors.  
The patrons of the restaurant, who are rightfully pissed off that you 
behaved like such an aggressive spoiled brat, blame you for your 
behavior.  Is an apology going to be enough to make things right so 
everyone can be best friends again? I don't think so.

>But, hey, you're right. I should have been polite. We both know that. And
>so does everyone else who is following this thread. Okay? 

It's too fucking late for that.  You've destroyed something useful, 
you've earned the enmity of untold thousands, and you've branded yourself 
as a shmuck in an international forum.  Start up your own well-managed 
gateway, maybe you'll get forgiven... but I wouldn't count on it.
