First of all, I am the one who posted the "Alcoholism and/or Cancer
in the Family: A college project" topic, in which I asked people to
join my Yahoo! group and fill out a survey for a research paper I am
working on. Due to an e-mail I received, it has come to my
attention that, even though I did not mean to, by posting a message,
at forums and messageboards, in which I asked for people to join my
Yahoo! group, I was posting "spam". That truly was not my
intention. I simply wanted some people to join my Yahoo! group and
to fill out a survey for me, for a research paper I am working on.
However, I see that what I did, I did not do in the correct manner.

I am sorry, and ask for each individual's forgiveness in return. I
truly did not intend to offend anybody. To those who have forgiven
me, thank you.

Note to forums and messageboards in which my message is still up:
Apparently some moderators have not had a problem with the
invitation message I posted. Thus, I will leave my message up, and
will let each moderator decide for himself or herself whether or not
the message should stay. To the moderator, if you have any problem
with the previous, invitation message whatsoever, please delete the
message.

Once again, I am sorry, and have left this group, along with several
other groups. Maybe this will help those who are angry at me to
forgive me. I truly am sorry.

Joshua A.
