Mr Marshall:

Recall that I wrote the following:

"To me it looks like this salvage rider is the environmental equivalent of
the anti-Jewish laws passed by the Nazis in the mid-30s and which paved the
way for the Holocaust."

Note that I called the salvage rider the ENVIRONMENTAL EQUIVALENT to the
anti-Jewish laws.  I wonder if you grasped the distinction?  Even if you
did, it's certainly your opinion, whatever your religious and cultural
heritage, to consider my statement "unnecessary and unappropriate" (sic).
I believe there is a close analogy, otherwise I would not have said it.
All due respect to you sir, but I feel I owe noone an apology.
