Tim, I think your prejudice is coloring your perception. I've got two grandmothers in nursing homes who require that someone care for them just as Adam provides care for his patients. When I read Brett saying Adam was a saint I heard no sarcasm at all.

I'm a nurse (psychiatric, but I've done my share of shit-shovelling), and that sort of remark really pisses me off. -- Tim Jackson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ please reply to: t i m . 6 3 4 @ f u n b o x . d e m o n . c o . u k ======================================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
