Post #259,285 by pwhysall 6/18/06 8:59:43 AM Reply	That's a bit brutal. I might pop an email off to eBay's PR people - I'm sure they don't intend to get clicks from "Paki Jokes" links. (Hint for Americans who might be wondering what I'm getting all offended at - "paki" has the same connotations in the UK as "nigger" does in the USA) Peter [link\|http://www.no2id.net/\|Don't Let The Terrorists Win] [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal] [link\|http://guildenstern.dyndns.org\|Home] Use P2P for legitimate purposes!

Post #259,287 by boxley 6/18/06 9:41:35 AM Reply	picked up that you were from the UK and the ad was to get your attention, did you click it to see the content? Probably wasnt jokes, probably a dating site. Not missing youe point, I dont want this board associated with that connotation either and would prefer that the site be banned. thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 50 years. meep
