Everyone was always so polite in the EMAS days :-) Anyway, you clearly weren't paying much attention. If I weren't a victim of domestic violence, you might have some justification for your implication that I should stop "talking out of my arse" about it *IF* it weren't the case that my money is being used for inane attempts to raise our conciousness about the problem. An arrangement can clearly be reached here: I'll shut up about the problem if people quit trying to raise my conciousness about it with inane poster campaigns conducted at *my* expense. Can't say fairer than that. >It's easy to back this up by analysing the traffic over the past few days. Really? Can you find a post of mine that indicates that I'm unaffected by domestic violence? >A (possibly valid) complaint would be that I'm in the 95% ... You said it. >Chris Owens.
