Treg Colleagues,
I agree with Vic "this thing is getting to be fun again."
Chappesses is a great laugh, but political correctness run amok.
"Dear Fellow Engineering Bipeds" is a bit off the wall. Don't forget
bipeds also include the Ostrich, Emus and Cassowary...?
What's wrong with "Treg Colleagues".
Duane
Hello all,
That may not be politically correct either; what of the monopeds or
none-o-peds? Let's not forget or exclude them either.
Perhaps - "Dear Engineering Associates" would suffice.
Regards, Art M

But if you are going to brutalize it in an obsession with political
correctness, I believe the PC apostles' latest dictum requires you
to avoid speciesism also. Therefore one should salute us as:
