[Robotgroup] Humble apologies and request for courteous and civil behavior

[Def Egge]

After being slathered with the brush of guilt by my own dear wife, I 
wish to apologize to the group for the distraction / disruption / 
interruption that I contributed to at Thursday's meeting.

Accordingly, I would like to suggest that - while Vern or other 
presenters have the floor - private conversations (and there are MANY 
that go on during our meetings ... no need to mention the names, 
right?) be taken out into the hallway, minimizing the distraction.

I would also like to suggest that any reprimands for such 
inconsideration come from the meeting's orchestrator, not from the 
gallery.  Feelings were hurt and feather were ruffled, 
unintentionally and inadvertently, (no, not mine).

The world works as well as it does by liberal application of both 
tolerance and consideration.  We would all do well to remember this.

All the best....

Mike
