Are we getting a little too troll-sensitive??? The question in the original
post does seem overly simplistic but hardly requiring a two-sledgehammer
response. Personally, I found the *** suggestion completely inappropriate,
offensive and unnecessary. But that's just me....... I thought this was a
wine discussion group populated mostly by folks with an even sense of
morality and ethics. Surprise, surprise.

JDS's response predictable though equally offensive.
