Bwhahaha! Love the email. You know, children tend to be cruel, and I got all sorts of variations on my name as a kid, now, my friends call me all sorts of even worse ones. You picked one used before here, not very original and not the best one if you want to act like a child.

I myself used a rather heavy Oxford Thesaurus, larger than most big dictionaries. We know Oxford is where it's at if you using real English English. I wonder, what did you leave out of yours? I did not edit mine at all, it was there, word for word, thesaurus to mail. > Whether this implies a lack of understanding amoung several > million photographers, or a lack of understanding from one > person (you are a person, right?), you tell me. Uhh...right, so because of that, it must be true.

William, really, look at the FAQ, go to a government website, or the UN site, or any civil and human rights website. You should know better, but perhaps you don't, but the disabled persons you mentioned, officially (for the Canada 2001 Summer Games) are wrong. As a volunteer for the event, she was given words not to use when addressing disabled persons, and both were not to be said or tolerated. I bet I know what you call African-Americans to your buddies. Herb was an angel compared to you. In photography, try and be a little more open-minded and less rigid. In life, please seek to reform your poor attitude, and try and be a little more sensitive to others, and practice toleration. I really hope no one on this list that has a child with developmental difficulties, that's something they shouldn't see or hear at any time or place.
