Thank you for expressing your opinion on this matter.  I would like to 
point out, however, that it is opinions like this that seem to encourage 
this type of content to remain, and is at odds with what Jimbo seems to 
have been saying that this should be deleted immediately without even a 
VfD vote as a form of vandalism.  This is exactly the dilemma that I'm 
facing right now, to completely ignore opinions like this one above or 
to take it into consideration to form a community concensus.
