<DIV>No, no, no, I did not mean to criticize you. I clearly did not express myself well.</DIV>

<DIV>I was glad to have found, and/or recognized the right handshape.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You put out a query very early to the entire list asking for handshapes (more than 3 years ago). It's my fault as much as any for not seeing that handshape in the 5 list and querying it.</DIV>

<DIV>Please accept my apology if it is seen as criticism.</DIV>
