Let's put this into perspective... When was the last time you searched the list archives for "<insert holiday of choice> greetings"? Never? Then why would it be necessary to send such a post to the list? I send my holiday greetings to folks that will appreciate them. Not to a thousand folks from whom I'll receive about six "back at ya's" and a dozen complaints. Political Correctness doesn't enter into it. Courtesy does. That's why you didn't see any "American" Thanksgiving Greetings yesterday. We have folks that are courteous and respectful of the list's rules. And I am thankful for each and every one of them. Jim
