Group: my apologies to you all, and especially to Gelboy45 for my post above. When I responded to his comment, I (obviously) misinterpreted his reference, as I had not gone back and reread the thread carefully. I easily understand how Ritchie's post can be considered offensive, and shame on me for not catching it.
We have had way too many hot button threads here lately and we should all be adopting a Think Twice, Post Once approach, especially when we're trying to be funny. This starts with me.
Thanks,
Gary
