Joe Offer & Tim Jacques,

I have read many jokes from both of you and enjoyed them, but I would not let comments like those go in a conversation without a strong response, and so I will not do it here either. Those who think the above comments about smoking are nothing but harmless jokes may want to skip over the rest of this posting.

I was DEFINITELY bothered by your responses. Perhaps I shouldn't have said anything to begin with, thus making myself a target in a thread with this title. But I thought I had come up with a method for keeping away from that which THOROUGHLY disgusts me in a way that I cannot do in real (as opposed to virtual) public places. No, I should not try (or have forced upon me) something which makes me sick! I suppose I should have directed these responses individually rather than on the thread, but nothing on Mudcat has bothered me like this before, and so I made it public even though it may open me up for more ridicule (although I certainly hope not!).

Now the thread can continue in it's own direction, most probably without me.

Allinkausay,
Bill
