Hello Niall, 1. Agree with Mark 2. I am staying clear of claiming to know what/how the opposite gender thinks. Many have tried and failed miserably. What makes you the expert? Have you considered publishing a book? Did you consider that you might have offended someone with your claim to "know"? 3. No matter what gender or orientation - someone will always be offended. Mark, I have to correct you: LGBTTQQIAAP is the correct term. Don't leave out any minority! 4. I am not sure if there is a scope for swear words on a public mailing list. Niall, I wasn't able to avoid the colorful language in your post - but I won't be harmed by it. I built up enough resilience. I booked myself in for a counselling session though - just in case. 5. The definition for "a sense of humor".. I bet a few people had at least a bit of a smile on their face when they read the thread. It has been proven that having a laugh is good for you. I am sure the Glider of the type Marianne, serial number 69 which glides really nicely and is easily de-rigged and fits well in a very beautiful trailer won't take offense of being made fun of. 6. Niall, hope to run into you one day and we can have a laugh together. And if Donald Trump is present - even better. Whoever makes him grin first - wins! How hillaryous is that? ;-) Erich
