Just a couple of brief points here...........

1) I, nor anybody else on the list, has not denied JDS's right to use
stereotypes.

2) Also, I never said I knew with any degree of certainty that JDS didn't
use them in his literature, I just said that I hadn't noticed any and had
hoped there wasn't any. :-)
