	Some jokes are simply tasteless.  The best thing
to do is to make no comment or perhaps tell the author
that the joke was in bad taste.  This argument is drawing
attention to something that shouldn't have had any attention
drawn to it at all.  Give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
Electronic information is a dangerous thing and sometimes
our intent is lost because of the lack of body language
or intonations of the voice.  Theres no need to flame someone
publicly for one error in judgement.  I think it would have
been nicer if you had privately replied.  Now, if this
were the 3rd or 4th offense...

	And please, no flames on "If so-and-so said such-and-such
about your whatever, what would you do about it?".
