None taken, Starward. The: None taken, Starward. The silences between conversations are equally filled with gestative nutritive thought that make picking up from where it was left off all the more richer and deeper. Almost like a game of chess returned to, undisturbed and ongoing.
I failed to acknowledge this: I failed to acknowledge this comment, also, and for that I am very sorry. Please forgive me for this unintentional snub, I am very sorry for my failure.
I sincerely apologize for: I sincerely apologize for failing to acknowledge this comment. I was ill at that time, and probably missed the email notification. No offense intended, please forgive me.
