Whether or not you think it's ridiculous, the fact is people *were*
offended. Lisa (I think it was Lisa) said she was bombarded with email
from offended techwhirlers. I'm all in favor of humor as long as it's
funny and not offensive or used inappropriately, but for crying out
loud, why would you want to deliberately offend your audience?
