This is the story of the line, and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation. He was known as \\u201cMr. Apology.\\u201d As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn\\u2019t just listen.
