TEPaul,
I see that I'll have to use more smileys, for people like yourself.
That '02 thread had some interesting discussion, but underlying much of it were charges of reverse discrimination, sexism, rants against Title 9, etc., all because a woman, heaven forbid, was going to play in a PGA Tour event, and a man couldn't do the same on the LPGA Tour.
You can call it what you like.
