[News] Squeak News Retraction

[Ron Teitelbaum]

I considered just posting an update and removing the picture, since he had
not responded when I posted the article.  I really didn't think I would be
offending him at all, but I agree that I should have asked him about the
picture first.  

I have a lot of respect for Craig, his work, and participation in the
community.  Since the offense was unintended and he requested it to be
deleted, an apology and removal of the article was called for in my opinion.
I sent him, and copied you, a separate apology.  

Like I said it was a bad attempt a humor and I'll be more careful in the
future.  I'm sorry if I hurt the team too.  We all make mistakes sometimes.
It's what I get for doing so many articles so quickly, I got sloppy and
insensitive.
