Okay, I've been teaching remedial English for too long. Let me just
apologize now for committing one of my biggest pet peeves... using
an apostrophe for a plural. Please substitute the word "guys" for
"guy's" up there, please. Also, if I have offended any of the ladies,
I apologize for using the term "guys" when it's not appropriate. I get
a lot of complaints, but it just slips out sometimes.

(I know I may be irritating some of you for being so picky, but this *is*
a public forum, after all, and I am very embarrassed to be a writing
instructor who made a mistake like that)

(I even previewed it! ack!)
