Don't be sorry. Although those times haven't been great, I have not been around that time. It was more a compliment - since I think that they used them as a prototype for Blight. Although this is just a guess from my side. Blight, as far as I know, means to destroy or to spoil something. That was exactely what the palgue did. So even though the underlying isn't really something nice, it is great, that you can make the parallel happening, if you understand what I am saying.
