I think this is gross. It was my post, so I feel a little uncomfortable telling people how good it was, but it was a fine post containing some useful content, considering the topic, and the only reason it caused trouble is that some guy here under a false name wants to get me in trouble, not because of what the post said, but because he has some axe to grind with me. Who it is, or what he has against me, I have no idea, but that this is what is happening is a good bet. And you'd play right into his hands. If the only thing we have to argue here about these days is whether or not we can occasionally use a PG term (maybe PG-13, but certainly not R), CCC must be doing pretty well. I hope that we don't get so bad here that I can't write because people are offended by my style even when I don't use those terms. This place is suppose to provide freedom from personal attacks and stalking, not from occasional offense. bruce
