I don't think anyone was being, or needed to be, apologetic. It seemed more
of a rare case of being quite polite, especially when the offending parties
clearly did not intentionally, and quite understandably, misdirect their posts.

Clearly? Yes, but only now that the preceding posts have brought it to my
attention. If you go to the main page, you will see that of the 6 choices
offered under MARKET, the best of them was picked. Now, if you could click
on MARKET from the main page and open up the sub-catagories, it then would
have been clear where we needed to post. In other words, it appears there
are only 6 sub-catagories for MARKET. I for one was not aware of this other
sub-catagory, despite my effort to post in the most appropriate location.

To Cary: Thank you. Your point was made, and quite nicely. My future
BrickBay posts regarding similar issues will now go there.

Very interesting metaphor (I'll surpress my urge to really analyze it for
now) - lousy timing.
I'm wondering if the pilot(s) of this "plane" you refer to, despite
probably having their hands full at the moment (be it here or in their
personal lives), have decided they are best left to take their chances and
leave it on autopilot for now.
Normally I would probably apologize for the possible implications of this
statement, but somebody just needs to step up and say it, sometimes... and
shouldn't have to apologise for doing it, either.
Regards,
Ken Wright
