OOPS. My mistake. I thought you were questioning Cousy's heart, which it 
honestly did look like you were saying in the context of the thread and 
because you only spoke of he, never naming Kidd as the subject, as if in a 
continuation of your prior paragraph about Cous..

Well  on this one II did say *WE* i.e. Cs fans in general. I didn't say you 
in particular or even you meant to be a generalization, but open to 
misunderstanding. And I don't think you (particular) can argue with there 
having been widespread condemnation.

On the list a while ago under a prior email, off for a while after a 
computer crash and annoyance with some stuff about the list, back on this 
year. So yeah, you were a name I certainly knew, along with the general 
tenor of your thoughts. Which means that going back to the Cooz point I was 
actually pretty shocked at what I thought you were saying.

Yeah, I know. I was shuddering. And then didn't Delk out-rebound some of 
the big boys just to spite me : )

Again, sorry for misunderstanding over whose heart you were questioning.
