You know, David, if you're going to send out messages like this, you might as well tell us what you're apologizing for! I've no idea! Nor do I know what Matthew did. I'm sure you didn't do anything too dreadful - but if you don't just want to raise the curiosity of those of us who haven't followed the details of some apparent disaster, you might either not send messages like this at all, or else at least tell us what they are about! Now don't worry, I'm sure it's fine, and for sure the list has suffered worse than whatever minor slip-up this might refer to...
