>This sort of message is sophomoric, unfunny, and has the taint of ad
hominum attack.  The request for information on sexual collections was sent
out and mostly responded to with a measure of earnestness - it is one thing
to complain about the subject being discussed, it is quite another to
publish a slur.  Mr. Handy is entirely entitled to his opinions, his sense
of humor, and his mode of expression.  However, in the spirit of civility, I
question the posting of this on Museum-L..  There are plenty of other places
on the internet for this sort of expression.
