	Interesting that you take them as identical in content
when the 2nd was specifically reworded to remove verbiage that
some found offensive.

	I would point out to people that while some people
take offense to the verbiage used in the first one, the difference
in wording doesn't even show up as a blip on others' reading
of the two notes...

FWIW, Eric, the 2nd was rewritten by request.  I find it
unsurprising that you didn't notice the delta's.  (that's
an observation, not a veiled insult).
