Like I've never wandered off on a tangent in other people's posts. :) Don't think twice about it.
I look at it this way. It's not a bad thing to be reminded that my readership may not be legion, but it is international. Better to deal with an issue that might derail the larger conversation head-on and thus get *back* to the larger conversation than get all fussy about a single word when it's an avoidable one and, as Box points out, not a bad reminder.
And there's gonna be plenty of discussion of this all over the blogosphere. I'm a bit surprised jonquil hasn't posted yet.
I do, by the way, continue to rec amilyn's post if you haven't followed the link. She has had to deal directly with more of the issues related to the assassination than I have.
