I am offended at your use of the word "wrote". 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processing equipment, rebelling against the outdated and outmoded 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.
