		I suppose that's true Puke, it's as good an ice breaker as anything.  I'm not easily offended myself, so I tend not to worry about the arguments that arise on Boards and chats.  And I can enjoy both the serious and the silly.  I've seen (and participated in) a bit of each during the approximately 3 weeks I've been visiting this forum.  If I don't like where I am, I move on. 
So you see, I'm easy to get along with.
