You can't tolerate "humor which puts down" yet you have written "rude" humor and "scandalous" submissions. Perhaps you (and/or others) can enlighten the rest of the group with some examples? I further fail to see how the *one* joke that set you off can be "associated with the persecution and murder of races". Perhaps you can enlighten the group with this one as well. -- Allen Gwinn ...sulaco!allen Disclaimer: The facts stated are my own. "...I will not waste time proving this." - Hank Bovis
