I suppose this one's aimed at me. If so, let me be as straight as possible
(no offense to the same-sexers present): I do not "pat" myself on the back
for choosing one form of labor over another. I simply spoke of my
experiences as it related to the thread. That's all. Yet, by doing this (and
by employing humor and irony), I've been whacked not once, but twice by the
righteous kel, who either doesn't believe what I say or thinks she has found
some hidden subtext that I'm trying to slip by the LBOers. "Yadda yadda"
barely covers it.
