Up until this point this forum and thread has been entertaining to say the
least, but that last comment by you 'etienne' is absolutely asinine. I have
been doing this for almost 20 years and people get frustrated for a variety
of reasons, but to call someone a bigot to the point of trying to
exterminate an entire race of people because they are a little frustrated is
beyond my wildest imagination. Just as Mr. Huffman appears to be in need of
a political correctness lesson, so do you.
