My reply above to Jeroen will answer these complaints of yours. Note
in particular the "politically correct"-issue. Just because you aren't
(or so I assume), doesn't mean that all who disagree with you are
worried about political correctness (damned english, did I get
that right?). My reaction to Jeroen's post was a knee-jerk reaction, not
something I consider to be a proof of my refinement.

P.S Now move on to the next item :)
