[Colorado-Talk] Let me please apologize

[David Dunphy]

Maybe there could be some virtual socials set up, where people can do 
something in a less formal way, so you can debate things more with less of a 
structure.
I think I know the two of you enough to know, Kevan, and Curtis, from your 
posts, that whatever was said was done out of passion and love for the 
federation and with careful thought and smarts.
But thanks for reaching out and stay awesome.
