Recently I posted a fic "Broken Dreams" to the ML.  In the introduction
I told Zen not to read the fic.  Rereading what I had written I realized
that it could be considered incredibly insulting to Zen.  That was NOT
my intention--in fact that wasn't even what was supposed to be written. 
What I wanted to say was this:

"Zen please do NOT read this fic.  You will be _extremely_ displeased
with the events contained within and I would much prefer that my mail
box _NOT_ burn down.  So, in an effort to preserve my life I would ask
that you not read this fic."

Many apologies to Zen and anyone else I may have offended.
