Not speakin' for the lash but take the apology & run >list members. Well first, my name isn't The Lash- that's the name of my band- this is my business address. Second, is it bad to be opinionated? I remember suffering through looooong threads about grits and tofu- many posts full of opinions- grits are good, grits are bad, don't eat tofu, tofu is disgusting (I'm surprised I didn't see at least one "real men don't eat tofu" post)- did I complain? No, I believe people should have opinions. If more people had opinions, the world would be a better place. But some people feel threatened if you oppose their opinions. Personally, I do not find the free exchange of ideas to be offensive.I can even accept a world with heatless habaneros. But, to all of you who are sending me hate mail- you go instantly into my killfile- I never see the message- so don't bother. I'm kind of sorry that I ended up having the last two weeks of the year off to do nothing but sit in front of my computer and collect rent- but then I'm sure a few of you are too- Rob K http://www.thelash.com Celtic Mayhem From America
