In reply to:
Do you really think that 300 miles is far enough Ian?
George, I don't think 3000 miles is far enough, trouble is, she knows all the right buttons to push and angles to approach. 
Therefore, in retrospect, I think I'll take a page out of John Cleese's book and offer the following to Lori:
I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.
Ian
