Bashyr, Hear hear! As a person who enjoys finding some humour in everyday life I share your sentiments completely. After all, laughter is supposed to be the best medicine isn't it? I do not find anything on the list to be personally offensive and find a lot of helpful ideas, sharing of knowledge etc very useful. Kind regards Naz P.S. "Doctor doctor, I keep thinking I'm a dog." "Sit down and tell me about it".
