Hoitt was not Carter, but me. I apologize for anyone taking offense to the posts that were made...it was all in jest...and...I don't know how it caused harm...but whatever harm it caused I apologize for.

Thank you Mr. Doucet for you message.

The "crossing the line" reference will not be understood most folks, so I will explain as briefly as I can.

While the contents of the messages posted by "Hoitt...just Hoitt" were not the stuff of great literature, I wasn't planning on erasing either. But, I suspected that "Hoitt...just Hoitt" was not actually a person on the Derryfield team (#187) as he claimed.

I did a little detective work, trying to track it down. I am afraid that I had better keep my day job because I botched things pretty badly.

Specifically, I wrongly concluded that Dave Carter was my man. I quickly fired off an e-mail to Mr. Carter. But... as I have said, I was wrong. Mr. Carter was the model of gracious professionalism.

Bottom line, I regret the error and I have apologized to Mr. Carter.

I will promise to be less hasty in the future.

I hope that users of this board will use their real team names and numbers in the future.

Regards,

Joe J.
