Let's not politicize what's meant to be light reading. And, BTW, you might be one of the very few who'd let a "hardbanger@..." reference pass...to me, it'd be a sign the candidate is not entirely "put together". In any case...to each his own. I credit Neo for taking your comments in stride. Lighten UP! Let’s not politicize what’s meant to be light reading.
