Standing Apology

I'll be out of the country for three weeks, starting this evening. I've scheduled a few blog posts to go up automatically, so as to maintain an appearance of regular activity. In case anything I post in the next three weeks appears to be commenting, tastelessly or otherwise, on a news story that breaks at any time after this evening, understand that it was entirely unintentional, and, depending on Internet access over there, I may not be able to pull or edit anything truly inflammatory. So I'll just offer a blanket preemptive apology for anything offensive I might say here over the next three weeks. Actually, while I'm at it, I should probably extend that apology in the other direction as well, taking this opportunity to say sorry for anything I've said in the past. In fact, let this post be my standing apology for all occasions.
