--WebTV-Mail-19709-382 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Hello cousins, Sorry to post an off-topic response to the list, but, I had to respond to Paul in the Penal Colony called Australia: Paul: Christopher Columbus, George Washington and other discoverers/leaders of this fine land were usually remembered by our ancestors in naming their children. I find it reprehensible to make sport of or demean the memory of our ancestors. Our very purpose is to celebrate their sacrifices and lives...not to debase them. By the way...I noticed that YOUR net nic is "PIXXY"; may I ask which Fairy ancestor you are named after?
