<div>Oops, my sincere apologies to Ms. Cwierta, I did not intend to
offend. In explanation of my mistake, I was responding to Ms.
Cwierta's query indirectly through the screen of T.N. Park's response
to her query, hence I only had K.J. Cwierta before me. Since I have
only known male Koreans to use their initials as an abbreviation of
their names, I incorrectly assumed Ms. Cwierta was Mr. Cwierta.
Mea culpa. My thanks to Aidan Foster-Carter for setting me
straight, and again my apologies to Ms. Cwierta.</div>
