A ‘sort of’ apology? Well, yes. I make no apologies for the content of my comment, nor the sentiment behind it, But, Araminta, you are right, I should have made that first comment a separate post. I do apologise and I do, yes, really, look forward to the next installment. (What I might say about the content is, of course, another matter entirely.)
