The charter states that he has *no right at all* to post dirty jokes in this forum. That doesn't change because he's a moderator. I don't understand your point at all (unless you are simply trying to prolong the discussion for some reason). >>I'm sorry if that opinion bothers people, but that is how I see it.

Even the subject of his post had "Off Topic, but" in it. >> >>I hope we can put this behind us and move forward. >> >>KarinsDad :( Andrew Williams
