ASA list,
I for one was deeply saddened by Dick Fischer's remark concerning
Phil Johnson. In as much as I bear some responsibility as list
manager for what is said here I wish to publicly apologize to Phil
and to the world for the remark that was made.
While Phil and I disagree on some things, I count him as a brother in
Christ and a friend. I was sorry to hear of his stroke and pray for
the Lord's healing to bring him a quick and complete recovery.
