Dear Offended Pro:

My most heartfelt apologies if my use of the word "pro" has
offended you. It was never intended as an insult.
My desire to not discriminate against anyone regardless of
race, religion, working experience, marital status or
gastro-intestinal attitude, led me to choose a word that
would cover everyone.
That word is, as you know, the by-now infamous word "PRO".
It was meant to include
the pro...miscuous
the pro...crastinator
the pro...blematic
the pro...fligate (pro..ceed to get the dictionary!)
the pro...fane, etc.
Not being a pro...fessed pro...ponent of pro...longed
discussion, I pro...pose to all pro...minent
pro...fessionals in this forum to pro..mptly accept my
pro...posal for a pro...ductive, mutually pro...fitable
friendship and a more pro...ficient use of the space in
this pro...digious forum.
Pro...bably I won't get any pro...clamations of friendship,
but I pro...gnosticate that a more pro...mising future lies
ahead of us when our pro...bative personalities abandon the
not-so-pro...mising road of hatred and embrace the
pro...motion of musical brotherhood, pro...pelling us into
a world of intellectual pro...gress.
Not wanting to pro...duce a pro...lix (Jennifer, get me the
damn dictionary again!!!) document, I pro...d you,
fellow "pros" not to waste what looks to be a pro...pitious
time to forgive and forget.

Sincerely

irvin
