Re: Kim's Musical "Anti-Spouse Forces Theorem"

[Kim Flint <kflint@annihilist.com>]

Yes, I totally agree. What started as rather warm and light-hearted
complaints about people we care about has frequently devolved into
uncomfortable stereotypes that don't belong here. Same goes for the gay
thing. I probably provoked both threads for a moment of levity, although I
certainly didn't expect them to drag on this long. Nor did I expect them to
become offensive, so I apologize for the list to anybody who was bothered
by it. Once again, let's move on.

And thanks for speaking up Corynne. Feel free to kick butt anytime. :-)
