Bill D: You make excellent points in your post above,in my opinion.

And you, rude guest, are probably the only one in the Mudcat who has noticed that Alex included that in his bio. I really would be interested to know if ANY Mudcatter, who has read the bios noted that Alex included that in his? If he were African-American, should he be criticized because he included THAT in his bio? Italian? Irish? Spanish?

I don't know where you are coming from, rude guest, and wonder if Bill D might be correct. What IS your personal interest in this issue?
