I'll have to unsub any future offenders. I think I may have to unsub myself, Douglas, if you have to take similar action again, because of what appears to be a few people's reactions. One of the things I cannot stand is the idea of Political Correctness, and one-size-fits-all ideas and opinions. I appreciate you have to take into account all shades of opinion on an open forum, but, as Michael has pointed out, no-one was forced to open his attachment, and when the jokes started running, no-one was forced to follow the thread. Still less did they have to leave the list for a single instance of a photograph of a young woman being posted (as an attachment) or a joke that sparked a half-dozen slightly/rather/insert-own-adjective off-colour responses. Nobody posting intended or wished to offend anyone, I am certain, and the list is not going to change its general tone and values over one or two posts. IMHO we are all part of the same world community, and should, I believe, take views that disagree with our own opinions as equally valuable and/or valid points of view. Tolerance is what is needed, IMO, not over-reaction, or PC. If nothing had been said (or done in the cases of those who have unsub-ed) this thread would have died out in a very short time with no adverse affects. Diversity and tolerance, please.

You were not the only one who missed that and I am also annoyed, about it. Not that it would have done me much good as I have lost my instruction manuals (1933 issue) and my memory is very faulty too. I would concur that the loss of one or two listees due to some mild exposure and some smutty humor is of little consequence.

We think it's a horrid thing to expose a teenager (even some adults) to a naked human body...but they let their children watch (even watch themselves) people on TV shooting each other, selling drugs, blowing s#it up and generally wreaking havoc. I have to wonder, given the choice, would these people prefer their kids download some "nudie pics" (the human body), or D/L "How to make a pipe bomb" or the anarchists handbook (more havoc and destruction)? > BTW, I am NOT a naturalist.

Re: Administrivia - Everyone please read!
Well, I like nude pictures, but I 'll go to such lists to download nude pictures, not here. This picture is beautiful and I don't think anyone should really be offended. But, if one views it from Douglas angle, one would be able to see that it does post a problem to him who has the responsibility of managing the list. If he had allowed this one, he would have to allow another one, maybe not so artistic, maybe more of a porno style. Where does he draw the line to determine that this one is ok but not the other one? Once you get to this point, you know that you could only say -- no nude pictures on this list --- the same as Douglas did.

Re: Administrivia - Everyone please read!
If a person is setup to open attachments inline, its time to get a clue, get windows, then quit computing because you cant figure out how stuff that little antibiotic pill into your floppy drive without breaking it open. If, OTOH, they clicked the attachment to open it then they should chalk it up to experience and, again, get a clue. Dont open attachments that are named after a woman. That is the same type of person that would loudly complain after stepping in dog poop time after time and never realize they have a responibility to watch where they are going. Possible the answer lies in stripping all attachments, then these threads will only develop because of my mule, which I shall never speak of again. But let me tell you a story about my Jenny...

Re: Administrivia - Everyone please read!
Lurid and unclean? If that's what you want then I suggest you turn on the History Channel. There's not a provocativly posed breast in sight, but all day long you can learn about who killed whom, in how many numbers, where, with what and why and in graphic detail. No offense intended to anyone who has ever served their country in that nation's armed forces, but it would appear that as a species we're a bit unbalanced.

How about a nake woman from the Nanjing massacra.. :) Anyway, I expected the picture to be taken by all as a joke.
