BTW, Who or what is "Jerry Curl"? Another one of the list members
accused me of being racist for using the term "Jerry-Rigging" in an
earlier post saying that it referred to "Jerry Curl" which was a racist
remark.
It would appear that some of our more sensitive list members are
on a racist streak that, really and truly, has no place over an electronic
medium. If I was to tell all of you I was a green-skinned man from Mars,
visiting Earth to pick up some hot babes for our leader back home, I doubt
seriously that most of you (i.e. except for the three of you I've met)
could prove otherwise.
As far as I know and care, all of you are ideas coming to me,
every day, in my Email box. Some of your ideas I like, some I don't. I'm
sure many of you have similar viewpoints of my posts. At no time does
your race, creed, color, or national origin really register or, frankly,
matter to me. You folks are, for my purposes, a sounding board for my
ideas and I try to be a sounding board for yours. Kind of like a big
electronic think-tank.
The entire purpose of this post, to try to sum it up in one
sentence:
"It's just an idea in an electronic mail box that has no more
weight to it than what you give it."
