jftr i completely agree with liz about this being totally inappropriate in the

And another vote here. Trust me. Matters of this nature discussed on lists/forums only prevent what this community has set out to do in the first place. Empower the USER. USER is a genderless word.

And trust me on one other point. If you were married to someone trying make their living in the tech field you would probably think twice about posting such inappropriate humor.
