I don't know what I said to upset you so, but I do apologize.

If you could tell me what it was about my statement (that I find a list 
comprehension to be a clearer description of program flow than a map 
application[1]) that so insulted you, I would be glad to avoid such 
comments in the future, if it would avoid such vicious replies from you.

[1] In my mind, the program flow is spelled out explicitly in the list 
comprehension and only implicitly in the map application.  Thus the list 
comprehension is clearer to me.
