Tim _ Actually, I thought the whole point was just to have a silly debate (the kind I enjoy most on TIPS), and I'm dismayed to read that it's evolved into self-flagellation (is this even legal down where you are, Tim?) and anger. The same thing unfortunately appears to have happened with my innocently-posed "Who's Jew" item. And come to think of it, a few years back I recall receiving some rather pointed comments when I repeated a Foxworthy-type comment before I even knew who Foxworthy was. Wow! Don't mess with Southerners, eh? Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
