I've been lurking on this newsgroup for about a year, and this is my 
first post. (I tried posting a few months ago, but I don't think 
it made it)
Anyways, I find it hard to believe that anyone would find the  use of the 
word "fox" objectionable. I would think that it is apparent to 
most lovehounds that the woman is beautiful, so adding that in the FAQ 
should be acceptable. Perhaps "Yes she is beautiful" would cause less of 
an outcry?
