This list is so tame it's not funny. I've seen (and been in) lists that make the referenced comments look like loving, caring help. The problem is that many people here (and elsewhere) have a low tolerance for stupidity. If someone came to you and complained that they couldn't push open a door that had the word "Pull" written on it I doubt you'd be bitching at someone who told them they were to stupid to be aloud in the building? On second thought, you probably would. -- Farewell neighbor. Thank you for giving us a safe place for so many years. Fred Rodgers - 1928-2003
