Organization: M. R. Smith Consulting, New Brunswick, NJ Lines: 21 I'd like to go on record by saying that I am a white caucasian male heterosexual protestant, and that I am proud of all that, and WILL NOT APOLOGIZE for being any of this. However, I do not feel that not being any of those things is in any way inferior to me. I do feel that those who believe that they are superior characteristics, or those who feel that I am inferior because of this, ARE inferior. Also, I do like an occasional ethnic/minority joke, even (often especially) when they are about a group to which I belong, though these are rare. In fact, I enjoy jokes about my own make-up best because they are the only jokes that I can openly laugh about without being labelled racist/sexist/etc. Mark -- Mark Smith (alias Smitty) "Be careful when looking into the distance, RPO 1604; P.O.
