It actually happened, too, last year, and there have been other posts of this nature. Sometimes it is obvious that a post should go away. Ok, you are now reading the group, and you come across a post in a thread by itself, which relates to positions for intercourse. Almost certainly this is going to get complaint by reasonable people. Almost certainly this is going to make some people pretty mad, mad enough to complain via email and/or respond with a flame. I think it is pretty clear that this needs to go as well. bruce
