Hi Mitch,

Would you prefer people to always refer to your posts as from
Spudboy100@aol.com, (or from Spudboy), or is "Mitch" okay?

Lee

<<It doesn't matter. It's a *joke* (and a good one). The earliest whimsical
version of this I saw was in the early 1970s, when feminism was still
called Women's Liberation and the talkback jocks yucked about bra burning
with many a wink and nudge; the Sydney Libertarians, a raunchy lot, men and
women alike, who had no truck with mealy-mouthed bullshit, caused some
consternation and a lot of belly laughs with a lapel button stating in
large friendly letters I'M A HUMORLESS FEMINIST. (Maybe ya hadda be there.)

There is the commedian who quipped; "My wife and I were concerned about home security. I
wanted to get a gun, my wife wanted to get a pitbull. We compromised and got a feminist."
