After starting a small war of words over a few small words, I can't believe Bob even brought this up. I haven't checked my mail for a couple of days, and I found 298 E-mails when I signed on. Out of the 298, there were anywhere from 35 to 40 pieces generated by a simple joke. That's all it was, a joke!! Nobody actually believed that it defined men in any way. I noticed that Michel sent one of Bonnie's postings to the SPARKLE list a humorous list of definitions and no one said a word and trust me, there was very little political correctness there. May I suggest that everyone involved step back and regroup. Surely there are more important ways to spend our time and energy than going at each other hammer and tongs over a silly joke. No offense was intended, but a lot of it has sure been taken. All of this is, of course, just my very humble opinion, but It would be nice if everyone would just cool it! Eleanor
