Of course, but there was more going on than that. The larger point was
that there are subjects not allowed on the Piclist and that one must be
sensitive of others. In that post I managed to use three forbidden
topics, and generally I think everyone agrees it was quite over the top.
That was my intention. In a later post I did apologize, but if you
didn't read it, please accept my apology.
