yeah I had started a reply about this and Ron put it very well and cited
the thing that was so far over the line.  Probably the worst I've ever seen
in an online community.  This list was a different place at that time
also.  there were over 1500 subscribers, dozens of messages most days and
little moderation.  TK was finally tossed off the list and very soon
resubscribed as "Ricky Ricardo."  Latino/Latina being one group he was fond
of maligning.

I would just never deal with someone with that kind of racist hatred in
their heart/head, much less support them economically.
