Uh, excuse me, but are you aware that the "Keywords" field of your message
contains several offensive ethnic slurs?  If you aren't, then perhaps you might
consider apologizing to the net at large, since this is the normal course
of action taken by civilized people who inadvertently commit acts that 
society finds offensive.  I think there has been enough turmoil and 
discovery over the last 20 years to safely say that society finds 
ethnic and racial slurs offensive.

If you are aware that you posted something this nasty to a public forum with
a WIDE distribution, then perhaps those of us offended should just dash
off a quick message to the system administrator of "plains."
