Bad taste depends entirely upon context and upon the people reading it. |

In the context that the original comment was made, everyone active at |
| 10 |
the time recognised it for what it was, so it wasn't bad taste. On this |

| 12 |
friends out of that context and into a much wider one full of people |
| 13 |
liable to get their panties in a twist. |
