It might be something really stupid. My sister had a story about an
e-mail someone was going to send that included information about a senator
whose first or last name was "Dick", and was advised by the program to
find a less offensive way to word the message.... If she sent e-mail to
me about it, I may have that still to refer back to.
Oh, and by the way, folks, my memory is going. Apparently it's common in
pregnant women, and I may have been doing well to avoid it to the extent
that I did for awhile, but as of sometime this past weekend, I am
officially forgetful. Please be patient with me. :)
