I would like to offer my sincere apology to Mr. Lester Chow (the author of the Genealogy of Mankind) and to anyone who might be offended by the posting of my correspondences with him to the group listing. I did not mean to offend anyone. My true motive of posting the correspondences is to encourage people to share their views and comments on the topic of ��Genealogy of Mankind��. I am sorry for not omitting the parts which are personal and not for public reading. I am already feeling remorseful for embarassing my very own kinsmen, for I am related to the Zhou family. My ��Wen�� clan is descended from Tang Shuyu, the younger brother of King Cheng (2nd king of the Zhou dynasty) and a son of King Wen (1st king and founder of the Zhou dynasty). True are the words: ��A wise man learns from experience (mistakes), an even wiser man learns from experience (mistakes) of others��. To my distant cousin, Lester Chow, please accept my sincere apology. Sincerely, David Wen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!
