Don, we here at the DTBB love you too! I've been in a grueling meeting all day, or I would have replied earlier. Freak is one of those words that can mean many things to many people, either good or bad. For instance, when my parents generation referred to long haired people as freaks, it was not meant to be understood respectfully, just the opposite, it was meant in a cruel way. The way you used the word in your post was hard to interpret. I certainly hope my response didn't make you feel uneasy or unwelcome, that certainly was not my intention. Its cool you took the time to explain yourself. Political correctness is never a criteria here. But as I wrote earlier, respect is. I have had to apologize for things I've written too, crap like that happens with the written word from time to time. You clarify things and move on.
