I have read and felt a lot of concern in this thread. Either one of two things has happened. 1) you had everyone in a panic for no reason or 2) there really is a cause for concern and you have "forgiven". I feel that a little more of an explanation would be the sincere thing to do as every response you got was very sincere. This is a great bunch of people who deserve honesty
I would like to add that regardless of whether it is "1" or "2", it is not a game and should not be taken lightly.
