i would like to clarify my remarks by first apologizing for using language on the list. thanks to the always level-headed diana for making sure i didn't scare the heck out of the lurkers out there. girls if you're out there, 99.8% of the guys on this board would never DREAM of such a thing. we deal with it in daily life as well as on the net, but that was a bad example of what i was getting at and singled out just a tiny few posts. i am sorry for that, to everyone on etree.
