All points well taken, and I do NOT disagree with any of them.  I am no 
prude (yes F5VHC, I am the leader of the "Guano Reef Bashful Perverts" 
Field Day group) and did not take any offense with the "Will you marry 
me?" joke or the previous threads on beer and flatulence - although that 
beer thread dragged on to the point where I considered asking for an end 
to it.  :-)
I did promise the tutor of the ten year old that I would post something 
similar to what I actually did this morning.  I do think that he is 
being over sensitive, but went ahead anyhow.
No, I certainly wouldn't want you to unsubscribe - and the tutor with 
the tike already has, so his problem is solved.
