It would appear so, and I have since apologized.

You appear to be the only person with a sense of humour. ;-)

I love women and would never purposely try to tread on their toes. In
fact the many remarks on male dominance in here by women is probably
more sexist than anything I have said. As to being emotional, well
if I say that true Africans are allergic to milk and get an answer
along the lines that I also have African, Chinese and goodness knows
what other blood in my veins and ought to look all this up before I
start making such remarks then what else am I to think.

You are of course right there, but with a wife and two daughters, one
niece and and two sisters, I have a pretty tough hide. ;-)

Alan
