Don't worry, Jeff, Mac use ain't a hangin' offense, yet.
And Heaven forbid we should bring up anything as old-fashioned as "ethically and morally wrong" in this day and age. We might be at odds with somebody's "diverse viewpoint" and that could be considered hate speech. ;-) You wouldn't want to actually considered judgemental, would you?
BTW. do we get "diversity" points 'cause our XVs are made by members of another ethnic group? Only get points if we're not of the same ethnic group? I'm SO confused.
