[Ian Meyer <ianmeyer AT mac.com>]

im sorry, i didnt mean to say that...my apologies if it came off that  
way...i was referring to some people that i know of flist that are like  
that...

i don't really know why it does, it just seems to. i don't mind if they  
keep it 100% clean, i mean, thats cool for them, I don't have that kind  
of self control, but its when people just barely cover it up that it  
seems to me like its just the same, but some people i know get all  
self-righteous about it if you say anything to them.

sorry about the lack of clarity
