Re: [atlarge-discuss] Constitution

["Ron Sherwood" <sherwood@islands.vi>]

Hi, Eric:

    I cannot imagine how I hurt your feelings, and certainly did not intend
to do so.   It was your dictionary reference that I used to defend my
perspective.

    Paragraphs two and four were addressing a point made separately by a
respondent who claimed that because he/she understood the use of the word
"constitution" differently, it was incorrect and should negate the value of
David's entire work.

    Please excuse my inadequate communication skills.

Ron
