That is exactly what I asked for. I asked what the email could have said. Words have meanings. Why oh why does that seem to be a novel concept?

> But like, maybe, sometimes, an apology inherently requires some humility

Yes, yes it does. I agree.

> then what, pray tell, even is an apology?

For crying out loud. HN, the community that is ridiculed everywhere else for being too literal, was today incapable of understanding a literal question.
