The funniest thing is that even to this day events such as this don't stick in my mind and it takes conscious effort to recall them and even when I do they are misty. I had to send my friends emails from back then to check this story was true the first time I remembered it.

Also thank you! The fact you think it's bad is actually how we all can change the culture.
