Unlike Rick, who posts the above, I do not apologize for forwarding
that message to the larger group. I expect many were offended. I
was also deeply offended. I think it is important that we recognize
that attitudes such as this lurk more closely to our enterprise than
we might think. It was for this purpose that I wished to share it with
you.
