How about a quick straw poll on whether it's Brett or
David who is looking "rediculous" here. Personally,
I'm very keen to show my support for the list owner
and, more importantly, for the women around here.
I say: Brett's the one looking rediculous.

Anyone else?

I'll add to that, on a purely personal basis: unless
he withdraws his remarks PDQ, I'll be using my
fancy new MS Exchange email filtering facilities so
I never have to see anything written by him again.
