During the past few months, many of you have been the subject of personal attacks by this author. Admittedly, I have allowed my personal feelings and opinions to color the manner in which I treat the cast
members of the ongoing saga of Commander Reed and The Bang-In Syndicate, and for this I must apologize.
I have been told that this story is the sole motivation for many of you, my faithful readers, to come to work. The suspense of each exciting episode is rumored to keep the reader on the razor's edge of suspense,
and always wondering what literary jewel I might produce next.
But alas, we do all work together and at times there is friction between you, the faithful reader, and this author, not to mention the frequent childish skirmishes between the members of the USS Escort's crew.
When this happens, I often work these incidents into the gruelingly complex story line, taking out my anger and frustration on many of you with slanted remarks, creative character flaws, or with an innocent jab
at one's sexuality.
Thus, overcome with guilt by my misuse of my literary authority, I now realize that while our work here is important, the only thing that really matters are you, the audience, and of course, the rich array of characters,
the high quality of the workmanship, and the true identities of Nurse Yahbo, Sheriff Doody, and Spunky the Wonder Pooch.
