This morning while checking email I came across one from a writer on the Writing List of the Internet Writing Workshop. The subject header read: An Apology. This is what it said:

Dear members,
I want to apologize for giving bad advice. I think I told someone to stop writing and I want to apologize for that. I have no idea why I would say (write) such a thing to anyone, when it would break my heart to hear (read) such a thing.
I would like to tell that person I am sorry. I do not remember who it was or what they wrote. I want to apologize. I agree with someone else who wrote “usually a writer simply needs encouragement and where can they turn to for that, if not a writers group”.
I apologize, once again for giving such heartbreaking and negative advice. I can only hope you will
