I don't mind that part, and with editing, Howard's article could have been a 
good case history.  And I don't think any of us dispute the validity of 
putting that sort of material in EN--in fact, that serves as part of its 
educational purpose!  But Cheryl is right--the sexual proclivities of the 
author and his fantasies about another rider (whether we know either party or 
not) have NO place in EN, and serve NO educational purpose relative to our 
sport.  Printing the article in its original form without MAJOR editing to 
keep it on topic was in poor taste, and if future installments are printed, I 
hope they get appropriate editorial attention.
