I can honestly say I had NO IDEA that "nappy" had ANY racial overtones to it. None. Zip. I've used the word hundreds of times to describe all kinds of stuff....."My hair is nappy today" "That mop is all nappy" etc etc. I think that's why I'm awestruck by this whole situation. -- I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yelling at me again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
