Everyone:

     Okay, I've watched this thread get really 
long today.  I, for one, apologize to those I 
have offended for contributing to this.  I 
didn't see any harm in it, and thought 
discussions like that were just part of the 
board.  It's the first time I ever started a 
thread like that.  In my defense, I saw other 
people posting similar topics, and nothing had 
been said about it(since I've been visiting this 
board).
     That aside, it has been already made clear 
to us, that these kinds of threads are to stop 
here- so sayeth the owner of the board.  So, 
they will stop.  Let's all just take a 
collective deep breath, and move on to something 
else.
