Bad taste depends entirely upon context and upon the people reading it. In the context that the original comment was made, everyone active at the time recognised it for what it was, so it wasn't bad taste. On this list, it is. The mistake was in taking a joke amongst a group of friends out of that context and into a much wider one full of people liable to get their panties in a twist. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
