Hi Diane,
Your are absolutely correct! My comments could be construed to be both
condescending and sexist even though everyone who knows me knows... I AM
NEITHER. Please accept my sincere apologies for giving the wrong

comments. (I am due to receive a swift kick for this one!) Thanks for
taking the time to express an important sentiment and allowing me to
correct a bad impression.
