I apologise to all who were offended by my HK joke. It was a followup to someone else's. I don't make fun of handicapped people as a regular thing... I am, in a sense, in a similar boat myself. To those who have flamed my by mail (Approx. 7 people have called me anything from Nazi to "unfeeling selfish XXXXXXX. { this is not being crypted... }" ) I say that I don't orginate these things, nor do I make fun of the deaf or blind in general... Hellen Keller jokes have been around ever since whoever-it-was wrote "The Miracle Worker". From now on, I'll one-way encrypt all jokes that will offend anyone...
