For the record:

* No female has complained about the term on or off list.

* Daniel seems to be the only one to find it offensive. It's his right
to be offended about whatever he wants, it's my right to dismiss it as
stupid political correctness gone overboard.

* Multiple people have asked for the discussion to go else where as well
as people contacting me off-list asking me to sort out the discussion.


This is the last post I'm making in this thread, I'm sick of it and the
people in it. I have far better things to do with my time.
