I wasn't sure what part of Michel's post was SHOCKING. I took
you to mean that, in your opinion, Michel was being insensitive
to the plight of women with breast cancer. On the other hand,
maybe you were endorsing his attitude about USA-centric
posts.

I rarely agree with Michel's posts, but I seriously doubt that he
is insensitive on this subject. His point about USA-centric posts
has some merit, but I think the original poster wrote the post
in a typical usenet telegram style and was not intentionally out
to offend readers outside the US.

As Michel's posts go, I thought this was among his least obnoxious.
