I am offended at your use of the word "write". It carries with it
unnecessary prejudice against people who choose to use modern word
processing equipment, rebelling against the outdated and outmoded values of
the pen and pencil.

I intend complaining to the Moderator Team and insist that they condemn this
obviously prejudicial and immoral posting and, in the future, the
inoffensive "commit to a wood pulp- or monitor-based medium" must replace
"write" in all HPforGrownups communications.
