No sweat.  There are many tools available to the discerning Net Surfer with 
which to filter out the riffraff, superfluous, lids, weenies, turkeys, and 
junk.  One has to be discerning anyway in order to guard against "information 
overload", now a recognized clinical disorder.

Yes, but you KNOW what a horse is, don't you?  A great big mouth into which 
you put all your money and out the other end comes nothing but .... well, you 
know.

Not me, pal.  Them derned ol' nags will mash a feller's crotch something 
awful. You ever see an OLD cowboy?  And if you've seen a few, you ever see 
one that talked anything but soprano?

 JH> That is so deep...  I gotta stop smoking this stuff.
I dunno.....sounds like some awful good "stuff" to me.......  Do you share?
