Christophe's comment, noted & agreed. On the other hand, one might argue that a conculture is frequently tailored to the whims and fancies of its author, even if the author supposedly "does not necessarily approve of the views" within his conculture. (Not that I am implying that my original comment to Thomas was intended to say I felt he harbored prejudical sentiments or anything...) I'm afraid my original observation has caused a bit of a debate here, and that's not what I wanted. (I know how much many of you seemingly love to debate, but I tend to sway away from heated debates -- life's complicated enough as is!)

Just FYI, I did not write this... it was Christophe, I think. But speaking of which, is ANYthing we humans do really cleanly? C'mon, we're filthy creatures -- ok, I'll digress now so as not to cause further ruckus.
