[nabs-l] Pimp My Cane

[Jedi]

Joe,

I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but your comment quoted as 
"It'th called getting in touch with my feminine thide. " could be taken 
as offensive as it is highly reminessent of the lisp associated with 
the gay stereotype. I would advise you don't use it here.

Respectfully,
Jedi
