is this the wish of the list

[Glenn]

GEEZ!  One huge, lingering fight on this list is enough!

Barrie:  Love the humor, keep it coming, ALL of it!  BUT- I hardly see what
Ken wrote as any type of threat.

Ken:  Please don't try to censor what I read.  Jay Lenno and David Letterman
do far worse every night on national television.  Change the channel.

Suggestion:  Some of the humor has been coming across with good titles in
the headers (i.e.: "Clean," "Dirty,"  etc..)  How about we continue with
this voluntary rating system so those like Ken can delete before reading and
the rest of us can enjoy.

You know, I didn't like the one a couple of days ago that contained a list
of slang names for sex or masturbation or something like that, so I just
deleted it.  I would never dare to tell someone to stop sending it, I would
just hope that people who post the tacky stuff would consider the range of
this  audience.  I for one would HATE to lose someone like Ken Burton off of
this list.

Glenn.
