Sandy, see my note with apology to Lynda. I've made it pretty clear that I
support Indian grievances, but I see your point. Now, if your point was
more about the Indian Princess part that was left over from a previous
converstation, but I think you are talking about the other expression, of
which I will no longer use.

If my intention is to insult a person I will always be clear and I will do
so based on 'their personal' activities, not on any group identification.
But, I do understand how even in humor, there are ceratin expressions better
left to b/w television shows. This is one of those, and I do not mind the
reprimand; and if I slip again with another, don't hesitate to let me know.
