Actually, some women will find your statement offensive - are ladies precious flowers unable to speak up for themselves and that should be protected from vulgar language? PS. How about a ban on ad hominem attacks and unsusbtantiated accusations or insinuations of scam or incompetence? -- Berke Durak
