I agree, John!  I asked the initial question simply out of curiosity and 
for a sense of what other people thought.  Though, I was perfectly ready 
from my stance to be referred to as a pervert (and I had on my special 
flameproof pervert suit), I really just wanted to hear how individuals 
felt about the inclusion of nude slides in an exhibit.  I have appreciated 
*very* much the comments along those lines so far.  

I was sad that the question I asked caused so many people to chastise 
someone else simply because he gave a response which was his opinion.  It 
felt like being back on the school bus when you weren't a jock or cute or 
[fill-in-the-blank] and it was readily apparent to everyone else and they 
made the most of it.  (I am sorry, is this the standard 50-minute hour?  
My health insurance won't cover this session will it?)  ;)

Please, let's keep discussing ideas and not our perceived value of other 
people and their opinions.
