Does this mean that every time someone offends you, you start in on the
dirty jokes?  Interesting strategy.

Actually, this really isn't about what is or isn't morally correct.  No, we
don't need sexist jokes.  Neither do we need sex jokes.  We don't even need
someone to tell us what the PTG code of ethics is about.  I don't think
that people subscribe to this list to be cleansed or enlightened.  This is
about pianos!  So lets save all this other soul searching stuff for another
list and get back to work.
