I didn't think you were complaining about the post.  I responded to that instead
of to Odell's post because it was the end of the thread.  We got a complaint via
email.  It is no big deal.  The post has not been deleted, I just politely
suggested that people make their points rather than starting language
controversies.  I didn't realize that this simple comment would start a
moderation controversy.
