Meat, you're right on all counts, and as you say later ..let's see what they print. But what you've sent is beautifully expressed, sincere and gracious, and also well crafted in that it's hard to imagine how they could use it to put you in a bad light. As others have said you have no need to apologise, but that you have speaks volumes about you
It strikes me that there are broadly 3 groups of people in Australia.
The small group who followed the press lead and jumped on the wagon, who are worth nothing.
A vast number who aren't "fans" although may have heard of your name, BOOH etc, but don't really follow what you do, and who are probably barely aware of what's been happening, and most of whom would be appalled if they knew.
Hundreds of thousands who were the people you went there to see, most of whom have bought HIAH, many of whom went to shows and were delighted, and all of whom know you, value you, and will also be appalled by the treatment you've received. You have no need to apologise to them, but they will as always be impressed by your honesty, stature and decency. (Which also happen to be qualities the first group wouldn't recognise if it bit them on the ass!)
