Yesterday, March 28th, I sent some comments to the Bellaciao site. In those comments I accused Mr. Nimmo and Mr. Hussain of reposting an Email, that I had previously sent to Mr. Nimmo in regard to an article posted in his blog. I mistakenly thought my mail had been reposted on this Bellaciao site without my permission.

Since my March 28th comments also addressed the importance of being honest in regard to what is written in a blog, I felt I must clarify my misunderstanding of the entire situation. After all, I did, in my comments, accuse these two bloggers of something they didn’t do...

Mr. Nimmo later explained to me, in an Email, that this reposting, without permission or use of the writer’s name, is a common practice on the Net. He also wrote that this "is the nature of the Internet." Therefore, I do apologize to both Mr. Nimmo and Mr. Hussain for my criticism of them. I am new to the blogging world. Apparently, I expect the Internet to be orderly and polite, when it is really a little like the "wild, wild West."

However, I do not apologize for all my other comments about truthfulness in regard to what is written in all of these blogs.

PS: This is all very confusing, I know. Don’t worry, Mr. Nimmo and Mr. Hussain. I wrote this. You didn’t. I will look foolish , not you...
