Dear Jim,

I was only pulling your chain a bit (I guess I should have included a 
smiley -- no offense taken at all), in fact, I was very intrigued by your 
definition for homophobe (speaking of copyrights, I believe your definition 
is unique given common abusage of the term :-).   I greatly admire your 
intellectual honesty.  This has been an interesting exchange of points of view.

Peace,
Mike
