After all, isn't it up to the individual to decide whether or > not he/she wants to be offended? (or don't they have 'n' keys in S.D.?) Give that man an award for gross insensitivity!

How would you like it if you saw heading Subject: line after Subject: line indicating the continual insensitivity of people toward a tragedy which has affected an entire area? What I worry about just as much are the curious who don't know enough to be offended - until pictures of them show up in Penthouse two years later. -- The Ice Floe of Larry Bickford {amd,decwrl,sun,idi,ittvax}!qubix!lab You can't settle the issue until you've settled how to settle the issue.
