Does this mean you'll all promise to never tell lawyer jokes either?
That'd sure make my life easier (at least in a few years)... ;-)
 
Lighten up, folks!  Yes, the comment about "fratboy rock" may have
offended a couple of people, but I'd hardly call the original message
a "diatribe" against frats.  It was more of a diatribe against Hootie!
But really, folks, the crowd on this newsgroup is generally a very
nice bunch of people, and I'd hate to see a bunch of people unsubscribe
because they don't want to be part of a listserv flame war.
 
So how 'bout them Connells?
 
Just my $.02....
