angelmommy23/Rd: clubfoot swap idea

[Guest guest]

My intention was not to be harsh or demeaning to anyone and I

apologize if it came across like that. My point was just that we

want to help and that should be the bottom line. As long as we can

we should. I was responding to a comment that I felt implied we

might not be running something as honestly as we should. My

feelings about that should have went through the " 24 hour rest

period " before I replied. I was upset about that and I didn't mean

to come across as I did. I apologize for the way I replied. I just

want this to be something simple that we can all participate in

without making things complicated for anyone. You shouldn't be

sorry, I should be, and am. Please accept my apology.
