The can is already open; Mike opened it for us.  Of course, there are always
exceptions to every rule, but in this case Mike's comments were totally
inappropriate and uncalled for.  It's one thing to go off topic, but a whole
new thing entirely to insult a whole race in the process.  OUT with Mike
IMMEDIATELY!!

TomC and Coyote where are you?
