You're using your "please be civil" statement a bit often these days aren't you and, in most cases, unnecessarily, IM(very)HO. It's becoming difficult to post anything at all due to the fact that I find I must have my politically correct dictionary handy. Not to mention thinking "gee, could this possibly offend ONE of the 30 billion people on this planet?"
just a thought........respectfully,

I know, to some extent, civility is in the eye of the beholder. I hesitate to bring it up again, but I try to look at my PBC job as a "broken windows" issue:

Probably if you think you should check for political correctness or think that someone might be offended, it's better to refrain?

You've been around, you know I don't block people just for disagreeing with me. :-)
