Margaret, There must be a misunderstanding somewhere. I did not write ANYTHING about Muhammad Ali, to the list, or private. I did not see the message you refer to, either. I would not refer to anyone, except my son as boy, and he is a man now, anyway. Anyone who did use that term in that way was wrong to do so, obviously. What needs to be accomplished on this list is too important for anyone to waste time on flame wars. If someone is sending out negativity under my name, I do not appreciate it. Please let me know what you find out, thanks in advance. BTW I am originally from New York, now from Miami, moving to Hollywood (Fla.) but I am not, nor have I ever been, a racist! ken B
