You are right. Your 1st post was a disaster and must rank as one of the most crass things I have read here over the years.
That said.
You have been man enough to recognise this and dispose of the offending item.
You have also seen fit to post an apology and that - in my eyes - means you are absolved completley. We all make silly postings from time to time - me included and I should know better than you.
Cheers and good luck,
